Pulmonary Embolism (PE) in Transit in Heparin-Induced Thrombocytopenia (HIT) With Negative Serotonin-Release Assay (SRA)

Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a potentially lethal condition, although frequently diagnosed, and is rarely associated with transit on initial presentation. Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) can cause both arterial thrombus formation and venous thromboembolism. The two forms of HIT must be differen...

description Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a potentially lethal condition, although frequently diagnosed, and is rarely associated with transit on initial presentation. Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) can cause both arterial thrombus formation and venous thromboembolism. The two forms of HIT must be differentiated in order to guide management. We present a complex and unique case of PE in transit secondary to HIT diagnosed in a patient with a negative serotonin assay.
