Delayed-onset heparin-induced thrombocytopenia is a rare complication of heparin in which thrombocytopenia and thrombosis occur several days after heparin cessation. We describe a 47-year-old female patient with a history of melanoma and multiple surgeries presented to the emergency department with acute dyspnea and chest pain on the eighth day after discharge.
Keywords: heparin‐induced thrombocytopenia; platelet factor 4; saddle embolus; thrombosis.
