Öğe Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia in a hemodialysis patient treated with fondaparinux: Nephrologists between two fires(Wiley-Blackwell, 2013) Solak, Yalcin; Demircioglu, Sinan; Polat, Ilker; Biyik, Zeynep; Gaipov, Abduzhappar; Acar, Kadir; Turk, SuleymanHeparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is caused by heparin exposure and presents with reduced platelet count. Patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD) treatment have increased risk of developing HIT due to prolonged exposure to unfractionated heparin or low-molecular weight heparin. We report a 79-year-old male patient with end-stage renal disease who developed type-II HIT during maintenance HD. Platelet count of the patient decreased gradually and antiplatelet factor IV antibody was found to be positive. The patient was treated with fondaparinux and continued heparin-free HD. Unfortunately, despite favorable initial response without any thrombotic episodes, the patient died due to severe sepsis complicated by gastrointestinal hemorrhage.Öğe Splenic artery embolization with Ankaferd blood stopper in a sheep model(2016) Koç, Osman; Acar, Kadir; Orhan, Özbek; Güler, İbrahim; Sarıtaş, Kadir; Erdem, Tuba Berra; Toy, Hatice; Gaipov, Abduzhappar; Haznedaroğlu, İbrahim C.PURPOSE Splenic artery embolization is a minimally invasive therapeutic procedure utilized in a number of disorders. Ankaferd blood stopper (ABS) is a novel hemostatic agent with a new mechanism of action independent of clotting factors. We aimed to investigate the safety and efficiency of ABS for splenic artery embolization in a sheep model. METHODS Seven adult female sheep were included in the study. Selective celiac angiography was performed using a 5F diagnostic catheter and then a 2.7F hydrophilic coating microcatheter was advanced coaxially to the distal part of the main splenic artery. Under fluoroscopic guidance, 6 mL mixture composed of half-and-half ABS and contrast agent was slowly injected. Fluoroscopy was used to observe the deceleration and stagnation of the flow. Control celiac angiograms were obtained immediately after the embolization. After the procedure, the animals were observed for one day and then sacrificed with intravenous sodium thiopental. RESULTS Technical success rate was 100%. None of the animals died or experienced a major systemic adverse event during the procedure. All of the spleens appeared dark on macroscopic examination due to excessive thrombosis. Microscopically, the majority of the splenic sinusoids (90%-95%) were necrotic. CONCLUSION In our study, splenic artery embolization by ABS was found to be safe and effective in the shortterm. Further studies are needed to better understand the embolizing potential of this novel hemostatic agent.Öğe Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura secondary to ABO group incompatible blood transfusion in a patient after cardiac surgery(Jaypee Brothers Medical Publishers Pvt Ltd, 2013) Solak, Yalcin; Selcuk, Nedim Yilmaz; Gaipov, Abduzhappar; Ucar, Ramazan; Biyik, Zeynep; Acar, KadirThe triggers of secondary thrombotic thrombopcytopenic purpura (TTP) include drug toxicity, radiation and high-dose chemotherapy, angioinvasive infections, surgery and acute graft versus host disease. TTP secondary to surgery have been reported in a number of cases. Most of the cases have been occurred after open heart surgery. Extensive endothelial damage is held responsible as the initiating mechanism in postoperative TTP cases. However, there is no report of secondary TTP describing development owing to ABO incompatible blood transfusion. Here, we describe a patient who developed TTP after transfusion of ABO incompatible blood during hospitalization for bypass surgery. We also propose a hypothesis which may account for the possible underlying mechanism.Öğe Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura secondary to ABO group incompatible blood transfusion reply(Medknow Publications & Media Pvt Ltd, 2014) Solak, Yalcin; Selcuk, Nedim Yilmaz; Gaipov, Abduzhappar; Ucar, Ramazan; Biyik, Zeynep; Acar, Kadir[Abstract Not Availabe]
