    AbstractWe report two cases of heparin induced thrombocytopenia (HIT), in patients who required anticoagulation for extracorporeal procedures (haemodialysis and cardiopulmonary bypass) one associated with recurrent thrombosis of the artificial circuits. Resolution of thrombocytopenia and successful anticoagulation were achieved using a low molecular weight heparinoid (LMWH) Org 10172. Anticoagulation was monitored using estimations of plasma anti-factor Xa activity. These cases demonstrate that LMWH provides safe and effective anticoagulation in patients in whom unfractionated heparin has caused HIT.
