Heparin is the standard agent used for systemic anticoagulation during cardiopulmonary bypass in cardiac operations. Alternatives are needed when patients with heparin-induced thrombocytopenia type II are encountered. We present a patient with a clinical picture of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia type II who was effectively anticoagulated with bivalirudin, a direct thrombin inhibitor, during cardiopulmonary bypass for a cardiac operation.
