Hey everybody!

I was wondering if anybody would be willing to share what their facility's preferred agent is for the treatment of HIT when therapeutic anticoagulation is required. At Sanford in Fargo we like to use fondaparinux (if renal funciton permits), but we do have some physicians who are more comfortable with argatroban as it is given a stronger recommendation from CHEST. Fondaparinux is nice because it has several inherent advantages over argatroban: lower cost, no need to follow PTT or Xa levels, and ease of administration (SQ QD vs cont infusion). I'd really like to hear others' experiences on the topic.
