Atrial Fibrillation in a Patient with Heparin-induced Thrombocytopenia Successfully Treated by Radiofrequency Catheter Ablation Using a Direct Thrombin Inhibitor
A 74-year-old man was admitted to our hospital to undergo radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) of persistent atrial fibrillation (AF). We found that he had a history of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT). Thus, a direct thrombin inhibitor, Argatroban Hydrate (Argatroban(Ⓡ)), was used instead...
