A 61-year-old woman presented with acute coronary syndrome and was given heparin and eptifibatide in conjunction with coronary angioplasty. Shortly thereafter she became profoundly thrombocytopenic (platelets 2.0 x 10(9)/L) and developed severe refractory hypotension. Heparin-induced antibodies were not detected, but the patient developed strong eptifibatide-dependent antibodies specific for platelets that appear to explain both the thrombocytopenia and the hypotensive episode.
