Abstract
A simple rapid platelet aggregation test was used to evaluate cross-reactivity of four low molecular weight heparins and the heparinoid ORG 10172 in three patients with heparin-induced thrombocytopenia. The low molecular weight heparins cross-reacted in 11 out of 12 tests. The heparinoid ORG 10172 did not cross-react in any of the patients. One patient was treated with ORG 10172 and thrombocytopenia resolved.Keywords
