Abstract
Coronary artery disease is increasingly prevalent in today’s world. Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) plays a significant role in the treatment of this disease. Systemic comorbidities are often found in coronary artery patients, especially requiring careful management post-CABG. Among these comorbidities, one important group that affects treatment management is oncological diseases. In addition to known systemic comorbidities, different clinical conditions that can arise later, such as heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT), can also be observed during the surgical hospitalization process. Keeping in mind the rarely encountered and potentially fatal course of HIT in cardiovascular surgery is crucial for early diagnosis and treatment management. In this case, we aim to present our diagnosis and treatment approach to HIT following CABG in a 69-year-old female patient followed with a diagnosis of Kaposi’s sarcoma.
