Overview
New direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) are widely used in the primary and secondary prevention of embolic stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation and risk factors according to the CHA2DS2-VASc-Score. Idarucizumab is the first available specific reversal agent for dabigatran and actually the first DOAC antidote to date. In this article, we present two patients with atrial fibrillation on dabigatran, whereby bot required rapid reversal of its effect.
KEY WORDS:
anticoagulants – antidote – atrial fibrillation – idarucizumab
