Abstract
Background Inherited antithrombin (AT) deficiency (ATD) is a severe thrombophilia causing venous thromboembolism, which can be complicated by postthrombotic syndrome (PTS). Venous recanalization, used to treat PTS, often requires a temporary withdrawal of anticoagulant therapy. In ATD patients, there is a risk of insufficient perioperative anticoagulation due to altered heparin response. Key Clinical Question There is no consensus on how to manage perioperative anticoagulation in ATD patients. Clinical Approach Warfarin-unfractionated heparin transition could be a more reliable strategy than low-molecular-weight heparin transition because unfractionated heparin anti-Xa activity not only reflects heparin-bound AT but also AT's activity, which correlates strongly with therapeutic anticoagulation. Biological monitoring could thus decrease the number of plasma-derived AT supplementation. Conclusion This study describes a successful perioperative management of anticoagulation for venous recanalization that could be suggested to type 1 ATD patients with PTS.

Abstract
Vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia (VITT), also known as thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome, is a catastrophic and life-threatening reaction to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines, which occurs disproportionately in response to vaccination with non-replicating adenovirus vector (AV) vaccines. The mechanism of VITT is not well defined and it has not been resolved why cases of VITT are predominated by vaccination with AV vaccines. However, virtually all VITT patients have positive platelet-activating anti-platelet factor 4 (PF4) antibody titers. Subsequently, platelets are activated and depleted in an Fcγ-receptor IIa (FcγRIIa or CD32a)-dependent manner, but it is not clear why or how the anti-PF4 response is mounted. This review describes the pathogenesis of VITT and provides insight into possible mechanisms that prompt the formation of a PF4/polyanion complex, which drives VITT pathology, as an amalgam of current experimental data or hypotheses.

Abstract
Vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia (VITT) is defined as thrombosis after inoculation of adenovirus vector vaccines against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). VITT rarely occurs with messenger RNA vaccines, and the use of heparin for VITT is also controversial. A 74-year-old female patient with no risk factors for thrombosis was brought to our hospital after loss of consciousness. Nine days before admission, she had received the third vaccine against SARS-CoV-2 (mRNA1273, Moderna). Immediately after transport, cardiopulmonary arrest occurred, prompting extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). Pulmonary angiography showed translucent images of both pulmonary arteries, resulting in the diagnosis of acute pulmonary thromboembolism. Unfractionated heparin was administered, but D-dimer subsequently became negative. Pulmonary thrombosis remained in large volume, indicating that heparin was ineffective. Treatment was shifted to anticoagulant therapy using argatroban, which increased D-dimer level and improved respiratory status. The patient was successfully weaned from ECMO and ventilator. Anti-platelet factor 4 antibody examined after treatment initiation showed negative results; however, VITT was considered as an underlying condition because of the time of onset after vaccination, the ineffectiveness of heparin, and the absence of other causes of thrombosis. In case heparin is not effective, argatroban can be an alternative therapy against thrombosis. Learning objective During the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, treatment with vaccine against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 has been widely performed. Vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia is the most common thrombosis after adenovirus vector vaccines. However, thrombosis can also occur after messenger RNA vaccination. Though commonly used for thrombosis, heparin may be ineffective. Non-heparin anticoagulants should be considered.

Abstract
Vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia (VITT) is a novel prothrombotic disorder characterized by thrombosis, thrombocytopenia, and disseminated intravascular coagulation identified in hundreds of recipients of ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 (Oxford/AstraZeneca), an adenovirus vector coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine. VITT resembles heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) in that patients have platelet-activating anti-platelet factor 4 antibodies; however, whereas heparin typically enhances platelet activation by HIT antibodies, VITT antibody-induced platelet activation is often inhibited in vitro by pharmacological concentrations of heparin. Further, the thrombotic complications in VITT feature much higher frequencies of atypical thrombosis, most notably cerebral vein thrombosis and splanchnic vein thrombosis, compared with HIT. In this review, we outline the treatments that have been used to manage this novel condition since its recognition in March 2021, including anticoagulation, high-dose intravenous immune globulin, therapeutic plasma exchange, corticosteroids, rituximab, and eculizumab. We discuss the controversial issue of whether heparin, which often inhibits VITT antibody-induced platelet activation, is harmful in the treatment of VITT. We also describe a case of “long VITT,” describing the treatment challenges resulting from platelet-activating anti-PF4 antibodies that persisted for more than 9 months.
