Abstract
Heparin is considered necessary during percutaneous coronary intervent ions; however, heparin is contraindicated in patients with heparin-ind uced thrombocytopenia and/or heparin antibodies. We describe the succe ssful use of the heparinoid Orgaran (danaparoid sodium) in addition to abciximab (ReoPro(R)) in a patient with heparin antibodies who requir ed rotational atherectomy. Cathet.
