Abstract

Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is an indispensable tool for imaging the pancreatico-biliary tree, and in treating diseases of the pancreatic and biliary systems. ERCP plays a primary role in the management of choledocholithiasis, both in diagnosis and treatment. Complications occur infrequently and can usually be treated nonoperatively. An unusual complication of ERCP and an impacted stone retrieval basket are presented and discussed along with review of the medical literature.

Immune heparin-induced thrombocytopenia resulting from preceding exposure to heparin catheter flushes.

Immune heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is a life-threatening adverse effect of heparin. It can result from any type of heparin exposure and by any route of administration; however only a few cases are reported after exposures to small quantities of heparin from catheter flushes. The major clinical problem associated with HIT is thrombosis. Early detection and institution of alternative, non-heparin anticoagulation are important. We report a patient with HIT associated with use of therapeutic-dose unfractionated heparin in whom immune sensitization to heparin was triggered by two 500-unit exposure to UFH associated with intravascular catheter flushing for antineoplastic chemotherapy in a patient with colon adenocarcinoma.
