The first report of successful carotid stent implant using argatroban anticoagulation in a patient with heparin-induced thrombocytopenia and thrombosis syndrome: a case report

Angiology. 1998 Jan;49(1):61-7. doi: 10.1177/000331979804900108.

Abstract

We report the first successful carotid stent implant in a patient with heparin-induced thrombocytopenia and thrombosis syndrome who presented with recurrent neurologic deficits secondary to severe carotid stenosis. Argatroban anticoagulation was used for the carotid stent deployment. We also present laboratory data that document effective procedural anticoagulation.
