Dabigatran etexilate for secondary stroke prevention: the first year experience from a multicenter short-term registry.
DISCUSSION: Our pilot data indicate that dabigatran appears to be safe for secondary stroke prevention during the first year of implementation of this therapy. However, high cost may limit the long-term treatment of AF patients with dabigatran, leading to early discontinuation. PMID: 24790645 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
