Using low dose heparin for prevention of sickle cell

I just had a physician ask me about using low dose heparin for a patient to prevent their sickle cell crisis from being so frequent. We have talked about hydroxyurea for this but not low dose heparin. Has anyone heard of this and if so could you elaborate?
Thanks,
