[erdinç naseri]

Robertto,
I would like to thank you for the link regarding HIT and its treatment. Unfortunately non of the iv forms of DTI ( bivaluridin,lepirudin,argatroban,...) is available  here, so when HIT hits! the patient we have to watch the natural history of the process.But subcutaneous Fondaparinux ( not approved by FDA for HIT) did a miracle in our patient.In 15 hours it stoped further decrease in platelet number and stabilized it in 20X1000 and  in 3 days the number is 110X 1000.BTW ,22 days after the operation the patient ( neurologic deficit after TCA-Redo TVR thru R thoracotomy) opened her eyes and is following simple commands as squeezing  hand)
