Thromboembolic Prophylaxis With Danaparoïd (Orgaran®) in a High-Thrombosis-Risk Pregnant Woman With a History of Heparin-Induced Thrombocytopenia (HIT) and Widal' s Disease
There is no consensus concerning thromboembolic prophylaxis in high-risk pregnant women with a previous his tory of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia. An alternative an ticoagulant therapy is danaparoïd, whereas unfractioned and low-molecular-weight heparin therapy is contraindicated. We report a case of successful thrombosis prophylaxis using dan aparoid in a high-thrombosis-risk pregnant woman with a his tory of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia during a previous pregnancy and Widal's disease.
