Abstract

Dosing and monitoring of argatroban for treatment of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) remain uncertain. Marchetti and colleagues critically and systematically reviewed their institutional experience using this direct thrombin inhibitor to treat patients with laboratory-confirmed HIT, and have formulated several practical recommendations for managing this challenging clinical situation. Commentary on: Marchetti et al. Managing argatroban in heparin-induced thrombocytopenia: A retrospective analysis of 729 treatment days in 32 patients with confirmed heparin-induced thrombocytopenia. Br J Haematol. 2022;197:766-790.
