Abstract

Eight patients with heparin associated thrombocytopenia (HAT) were treated by a low molecular weight heparin derivative (LMW). Biological and clinical improvement occurred in all patients. This efficiency confirms the antithrombotic activity of LMW and allows its use in patients with HAT.
