A prospective study of 104 patients was undertaken to determine the frequency of severe heparin-induced thrombocytopenia in patients receiving either bovine lung or porcine mucosal heparin. One of 54 patients randomized to receive bovine heparin and two of 50 patients randomized to receive porcine heparin developed heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (platelet count less than 100,000/microliters). Although three previous studies suggest a remarkably high frequency of bovine heparin-induced thrombocytopenia, or a high frequency compared to porcine heparin, our study supports other evidence that clinically important, severe heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (platelet count less than 100,000/microliters) occurs in 10 percent of patients or less receiving heparin, and that there is no significant difference of occurrence between bovine and porcine heparin.
