| Abstrakt: | "Spontaneous" heparin-induced thrombocytopenia is a rare and virulent form of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia that occurs in the absence of exposure to any drug of the heparin class of anticoagulants. Most reported cases have occurred after knee replacement surgery. Herein we report 2 additional cases following total knee replacement. Clinical suspicion and immediate initiation of appropriate nonheparin anticoagulation are essential to avoid potentially devastating thrombotic complications. (© 2021 The Authors.) |
