Direct oral anticoagulants in treatment of cerebral venous thrombosis: a systematic review protocol
DiscussionCurrent guidelines in the treatment of cerebral vein thrombosis dating back to 2011 from the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association endorse the utility of anticoagulation for the treatment of cerebral vein thrombosis; however, they did not support the use of direct oral anticoagulants. Updated guidelines from the European Stroke Organization, endorsed by the European Academy of Neurology in 2017, also refute utilization of direct oral anticoagulants due to a lack of evidence. There have been nearly 10  years of experience with direct oral anticoagulants in the treatment of venous thrombosis and ...

Safety and Efficacy of Triple Antithrombotic Therapy with Dabigatran versus Vitamin K Antagonist in Atrial Fibrillation Patients: A Pilot Study.
Conclusion: Dabigatran at the dose used for stroke prevention appears safer than VKA and maintains a similar efficacy profile, when used with DAPT, in AF patients who have undergone PCI with stenting for ACS. PMID: 30895193 [PubMed - in process]

New versus Old Oral Anticoagulants: How Can We Set the Scale Needle? Considerations on a Case Report.
We report the case of a 41-year-old woman with antiphospholipid syndrome who was unsuccessfully treated with Dabigatran, a new oral anticoagulant, as she developed a major stroke involving the right carotid artery, due to deep venous thrombosis with pulmonary embolism. We therefore suggest a closer monitoring of the safety and efficacy of dabigatran. Moreover, in the presence of multifactorial causes of pro-coagulation, we believe that warfarin should remain the mainstay of oral anticoagulation. PMID: 30884868 [PubMed - in process]

Effectiveness and safety of long-term dabigatran among patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation in clinical practice: J-Dabigatran Surveillance.
CONCLUSIONS: The present results are indicative of the favorable benefit-risk profile of dabigatran in Japanese clinical practice. Dabigatran dose was not independently associated with thromboembolic and bleeding events in Japanese NVAF patients. PMID: 30871851 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Advances in Antiplatelet and Anticoagulant Therapies for NSTE-ACS
AbstractThe treatment of patients requiring anticoagulation who develop acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and/or require percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) must balance the reduction in major adverse cardiovascular events, stroke, and major bleeding. The development of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) for the treatment of atrial fibrillation has ushered in an era of potential treatment options for these complex patients.Purpose of ReviewTo review the clinical evidence underlying the use of DOACs for the treatment of patients with atrial fibrillation and ACS or PCI.Recent FindingsThree trials studied this particular pat...

Treatment With Intravenous Alteplase for Acute Ischemic Stroke After Reversal of Dabigatran With Idarucizumab: A Case Study
Treatment options for anticoagulated patients presenting with ischemic stroke are limited. Off-label use of idarucizumab to rapidly reverse the anticoagulant effect of dabigatran may ensure eligibility for thrombolytic therapy with alteplase. This case describes a 77-year-old white male who presented to the hospital 89 minutes after sudden onset of right-sided hemiparesis, dysarthria, and facial palsy. Significant history included atrial fibrillation and previous right-sided cortical stroke. Medication reconciliation revealed he was taking dabigatran 150 mg twice a day, with the last dose being 179 minutes before presentat...

Oral Anticoagulation.
CONCLUSION: The evidence base for anticoagulation over a time frame of several years is inadequate at present, and direct comparative data for the different types of NOAC are not yet available. PMID: 30602410 [PubMed - in process]

The Non-Vitamin K Antagonist Oral Anticoagulants in Heart Disease: Section V-Special Situations.
Abstract Non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOACs) include dabigatran, which inhibits thrombin, and apixaban, betrixaban, edoxaban and rivaroxaban, which inhibit factor Xa. In large clinical trials comparing the NOACs with the vitamin K antagonist (VKA) warfarin, dabigatran, apixaban, rivaroxaban and edoxaban were at least as effective for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation and for treatment of venous thromboembolism, but were associated with less intracranial bleeding. In addition, the NOACs are more convenient to administer than VKAs because they can be given in fixed doses without routine coagu...

Surface Acoustic Wave-Based Microfluidic Coagulation Device for Monitoring Anticoagulant Therapy
Semin Thromb Hemost DOI: 10.1055/s-0038-1676318An universal coagulation test that reliably detects prolonged coagulation times in patients, regardless of which anticoagulant is administered, is not yet available. The authors developed a novel, miniaturized device utilizing surface acoustic waves (SAW) to detect clotting, and used it to develop a novel universal microfluidic coagulation test. Results from this assay were compared with results from standard coagulation assays to detect classical anticoagulants (unfractionated heparin, argatroban) and direct oral anticoagulants (dabigatran, rivaroxaban). The SAW-clotting time...

Intravenous Thrombolysis in Acute Ischemic Stroke After Idarucizumab Reversal of Dabigatran Effect: Analysis of the Cases From Taiwan
Background: Asians with atrial fibrillation carry a higher risk of ischemic stroke than non-Asians even under treatment of nonvitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants. The purpose of the study was to observe the feasibility of intravenous thrombolytic therapy after administering a reversal agent, idarucizumab, in dabigatran-treated patients with acute ischemic stroke in Taiwan. Methods: Dabigatran-treated patients with acute ischemic stroke who received intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA) after idarucizumab reversal were enrolled in the retrospective nationwide study.

Dabigatran as an alternative for atrial thrombosis resistant to rivaroxaban: A case report
Rationale: Anti-thrombosis therapy for atrial fibrillation (AF) management and stroke prevention is an important aspect of disease management. Novel oral anticoagulants (NOACs) are recommended by guidelines for AF management. However, if one can switch one NOAC to another when the former showed a poor effect has not been fully determined. Patient concerns: A 52-year-old man was admitted to our center for heart failure and AF with a thrombus in the left atrium. Diagnoses: Cardiomyopathy was diagnosed by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) and echocardiography. Interventions: He was prescribed rivaroxaban (20 mg da...

NOAC Therapy Is Also Effective and Safe in Patients Older Than 80 Years -- Results of the Prospective Dresden NOAC Registry (NCT01588119)
Conclusions: During long-term FU of more than 2.5 years, this very old population of NOAC recipients demonstrated low rates of cardiovascular or major bleeding complications during active NOAC therapy. Approximately one quarter of the study population died during follow-up, with cardiovascular events being the leading cause of death. Only 11 fatal bleeding events were observed; however, most of the 58 fatal thromboembolic events occurred after anticoagulation was discontinued. This indicates that continued anticoagulation with NOACs may result in a beneficial risk-benefit ratio also in very old patients.DisclosuresBeyer-We...

Clinical Outcome Following Reinstitution of Anticoagulation after Major Gastrointestinal Bleed: A Single Institutional Analysis
Conclusion: Given the rising national trend on the use of anticoagulants for various medical necessities, it is imperative that a safe and efficient process be devised on reinstitution of anticoagulation post MGIB to guide Clinicians. Although our study represents a single institutional analysis, it concurs with recent studies that early resumption of anticoagulant following stabilization of MGIB is associated with lower thromboembolic events. Timing for resumption depends largely on the medical reason for anticoagulation; reinstitution by day 7 appear safe for patients on mechanical valve whereas after day 12 maybe approp...
