Understanding heparin-induced thrombosis: A brief review

Heparin has been the first line for treatment and prevention of thrombosis for a while. However, one of its non-hemorrhagic effects remains noticeable: heparin-induced thrombocytopenia, mediated by antibodies directed to complexes of platelet factor, and heparin. Binding to platelet FcγRIIA receptor...
