A Case of Heparin Necrosis

Abstract

Skin necrosis is a rare complication of heparin administration that is usually localized to injection sites. We report a case of skin necrosis that was caused by minidose intraarterial infusion of porcine heparin which had been used in a touch to prevent coagulation in percutaneous intraarterial cannula. The skin necrosis appeared 35 days after starting heparin use.
