Due to his lung condition, husband was a non-surgical canddate, so vascular surgeons operated on his using a local anesthetic to break up blood clots in legs, or possible amputation would have been necessary ) he is a non surgical candidate remember)- The diagnosis was "heprin induced thrombosis with thrombocytopenia" Because of this husband has been in a nursing home since that time, with the exception of one month, I am attempting now to find out if the recalled heprin had any bearing on this.

Two days after surgery, they had to perform emergency surgery to clear blockage in left leg. Then had to amputate part of left foot. Started dialysis after fifth day, and has been on dialysis and ventilator ever since. Dad has shown no sign of communication, and in Dec. was transferred to LTAC because hospital said they could not ween him from ventilator. To date, his condition remains the same. On ventilator, dialysis, and no sign of communication. Doctor at LTAC said there is nothing they can do for him. The hospital back in August tried to engage palative team to have him pulled off life support, but the family had hope for some miracle. Now it appears there is no recovery for some, from this heparin reaction.

This complication resulted in a 17 day hospital stay and an unduly long, painful recovery from surgery. I have no issues with Florida Hospital or the Doctors who saved my life, but I have always wondered why this happened. I did not have a reaction to Heparin in January, 2002 when I had angioplasty in OKC, OK.
