[Thrombosis and thrombocytopenia associated with the use of unfractionated heparin in a female patient with unstable angina].
A case of heparin-induced platelet activation with thrombocytopenia and several arterial emboli in a 60-year-old woman suffering unstable angina is presented. The early recognition of the syndrome, with cessation of heparin and the use of unfractionated heparin, led to an immediate remission of the thrombocytopenia and thromboembolic complications.
