The Current and Future Role of the Novel Oral Anticoagulants—Indications Beyond Atrial Fibrillation
Abstract: The direct thrombin inhibitors and Factor-Xa inhibitors are novel oral anticoagulants which are gaining rapid acceptance not only as alternatives to warfarin, but also as recommended first line agents for use as stroke prophylaxis in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation.There are, however, other patient settings in which anticoagulation is either indicated or has a potential role. Warfarin is still the predominant anticoagulant used for the treatment and prevention of venous thromboembolic events including deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism as well as in patients with mechanical prosthetic hear...

Randomised controlled trial: extended-duration dabigatran is non-inferior to warfarin and more effective than placebo for symptomatic VTE
Commentary on: Schulman S, Kearon C, Kakkar AK, et al.. Extended use of dabigatran, warfarin, or placebo in venous thromboembolism. N Engl J Med 2013;368:709–718. RE-MEDY and RE-SONATE trials. Context In patients with idiopathic deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary embolism (PE), extending the duration of warfarin beyond the initial 3–6 months of anticoagulation significantly reduces the risk for recurrence.1 2 Dabigatran is an oral direct-thrombin inhibitor that has been shown to be as effective as warfarin in the first 6 months after a venous thromboembolism (VTE).3 However, its efficacy and safe...

New oral anticoagulant agents - general features and outcomes in subsets of patients.
Abstract During the past four years the phase III trials on stroke prophylaxis in atrial fibrillation and in treatment of venous thromboembolism have been completed for four new oral anticoagulants - dabigatran, apixaban, edoxaban and rivaroxaban. The studies have revealed advantages in terms of a reduced risk of bleeding, most importantly of intracranial bleeding. These anticoagulants also have favourable pharmacokinetics, eliminating the need for routine laboratory monitoring and dose adjustments. There are, however, some differences between the drugs in certain subsets of patients, according to patient characte...

Increased risk of myocardial infarction with dabigatran: fact or fiction?
Dabigatran is a direct, competitive inhibitor of thrombin recently approved for the prophylaxis of stroke and systemic embolism in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation. In some of the clinical trials evaluating the efficacy and safety of dabigatran in different clinical settings [i.e., prevention of venous thromboembolism (VTE) after orthopedic surgery, secondary prevention of VTE, and acute coronary syndromes (ACS)], a trend toward an increase in acute coronary events among patients receiving dabigatran has been reported, thus raising concerns of a possible relationship between dabigatran and myocardial infarctio...

New Oral Anticoagulants in Elderly Adults: Evidence from a Meta‐Analysis of Randomized Trials
ConclusionIn participants of clinical trials aged 75 and older, NOACs did not cause excess bleeding and were associated with equal or greater efficacy than conventional therapy.

Meta-Analysis of Efficacy and Safety of Rivaroxaban Compared With Warfarin or Dabigatran in Patients Undergoing Catheter Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation
In conclusion, our study suggests that patients treated with rivaroxaban during periprocedural catheter ablation have similar rates of thromboembolic events and major hemorrhage. Similar results were seen in direct comparisons between dabigatran and rivaroxaban.

Major Bleeding With Dabigatran and Rivaroxaban in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation: A Real-World Setting

Evidence suggests dabigatran is an effective and safe treatment for patients with VTE requiring early parenteral therapy
Commentary on: Schulman S, Kakkar AK, Goldhaber SZ, et al.. Treatment of acute venous thromboembolism with dabigatran or warfarin and pooled analysis. Circulation 2014;129:764–72. Context Until recently, an initial course of parenteral anticoagulation followed by vitamin K antagonist (VKA) was the standard of care for the treatment of venous thromboembolism (VTE). In the past few years, direct oral anticoagulants (DOAC) have been found to be non-inferior to VKA.1–3 The RE-COVER study found dabigatran to be non-inferior to warfarin, with a reduced risk for clinically relevant bleeding.4 In order to confirm these...

On the monitoring of dabigatran treatment in “real life” patients with atrial fibrillation
The oral direct thrombin inhibitor dabigatran is increasingly used to prevent thromboembolic stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). Routine laboratory monitoring is currently not recommended, but measurements of dabigatran and/or its effect are desirable in certain situations. We studied dabigatran exposure and compared different tests for monitoring of dabigatran in a real-life cohort of AF patients.

Pros and cons of new oral anticoagulants.
Authors: Bauer KA Abstract The availability of new oral anticoagulants (NOACs) targeting either thrombin (dabigatran etexilate) or factor Xa (rivaroxaban and apixaban) for the prevention and treatment of thrombosis has been highly anticipated. NOACs have major pharmacologic advantages over vitamin K antagonists (eg, warfarin), including rapid onset/offset of action, few drug interactions, and predictable pharmacokinetics, eliminating the requirement for regular coagulation monitoring. Regulatory agencies have approved several NOACs for specific indications based on the results of clinical trials demonstrating effic...

Review of newer anticoagulants and anti-platelet agents in acute coronary syndrome and cardiovascular diseases.
Authors: Gosavi S, Mukherjee D Abstract In the last few years three new oral anticoagulants-Dabigatran, Rivaroxaban and Apixaban and two new antiplatelet agents Prasugrel and Ticagrelor have been approved for use. Dabigatran, Rivaroxaban and Apixaban have been approved for the prevention of stroke and systemic embolism in non valvular Atrial Fibrillation in the United States. Rivaroxaban is also approved for the prevention and treatment of venous thromboembolism, including pulmonary embolism. These drugs have been shown to be non-inferior to Warfarin. These drugs do not need monitoring and have lesser drug interact...
