Abstract
The incidence of HIT in the vascular surgery population is similar to previously reported incidence in cardiac surgery patients. In the vascular surgery population, mortality increases 3-fold in patients with HIT versus those without any thrombocytopenia. Understanding the associated risk factors and complications will allow clinicians to make informed decisions and anticipate HIT and associated complications in certain high-risk populations.
