%X We describe a rare case of autoimmune heparin-induced thrombocytopenia after transcatheter aortic valve implantation in which antibodies against platelet factor 4/heparin have led to platelet activation even after heparin cessation, causing a delayed drop in platelet count to below 20£¿¡Á£¿10 9 /L. Most interestingly, platelet count rapidly improved after intravenous immunoglobulin treatment and no new thromboembolic complications were observed with further anticoagulation with rivaroxaban
