Dabigatran etexilate: management in acute ischemic stroke.
Abstract A 54-year-old man treated with dabigatran experienced new onset of a stroke with a score of 9 on the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale. Administration of recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rtPA) was not recommended because of the dabigatran therapy. Angiography showed occlusion of the left middle cerebral artery by an embolic thrombus. Suction thrombectomy achieved flow through the inferior division of the artery. Computed tomography of the head showed possible intracranial hemorrhage, and dabigatran reversal was attempted with prothrombin complex concentrate and recombinant factor VIIa. C...

Dabigatran Reversal with Idarucizumab Preceding Thrombolysis in an Octogenarian Patient with Chronic Kidney Disease and Acute Stroke: a Case Report.
CONCLUSION: Our case showed the effectiveness and safety of giving Idarucizumab followed by thrombolysis in Dabigatran-treated atrial fibrillation with ischemic stroke. Based on this case, the procedure can be performed in an elderly population with chronic kidney disease when administered close to the limit of threshold for thrombolysis.

Antiphospholipid Syndrome Diagnosed as a Result of the Occurrence of an Ischemic Stroke After a Successful Catheter Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation and Continuous Direct Oral Anticoagulants
We report a case of an ischemic stroke after a successful catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) and continuous oral anticoagulation therapy with direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs), which was the trigger for diagnosing antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). A 68-year-old woman underwent catheter ablation of persistent AF and continued oral anticoagulation with edoxaban at a dose of 30 mg once daily after the ablation procedure. An asymptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage was detected by brain computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging one month post-ablation. Oral anticoagulation with dabigatran at 110 mg twice daily...
