We report four patients who developed heparin-associated thrombocytopenia (HAT) under heparin prophylaxis. One patient showed no clinical signs, but three had severe complications (white-clot syndrome, acute adrenal failure and loss of limb because of thromboembolic complication), leading to death in two cases.
