Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Heparin/Platelet Factor 4 (PF4) antibody testing will be performed in subjects who have just undergone coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery. 30 subjects with a positive antibody result and no signs or symptoms of Heparin Induced Thrombocytopenia (HIT) will be randomized to receive argatroban and warfarin. 30 subjects with a positive antibody result and no signs or symptoms of HIT will be randomized to receive no treatment. 30 subjects with a negative antibody result will also be followed in the study. All subjects will have a cardiac CT scan at about 30 days post surgery to measure the patency of their coronary artery bypass vein grafts. This study will evaluate if treating patients who have heparin PF4 antibodies post-CABG with argatroban and warfarin has any effect on the short-term patency of coronary artery bypass vein grafts.
