Pharmacological Difference Between Platelet Aggregations in Cardioembolic Stroke Patients with Direct Oral Anticoagulants: A Pilot Study
Major hemorrhagic complication incidence in patients with arterial fibrillation (AF), and treated with direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs), is lower than in vitamin K antagonist-treated patients.1 –5 Additionally, among DOACs, the direct oral thrombin inhibitor (dabigatran) and direct oral factor Xa (FXa) inhibitors (apixaban and rivaroxaban) seem to affect the coagulation system differently, which could provide distinct clinical outcomes.6,7 The results from the US6 and Denmark8 cohort stu dies suggest there is a minute, but notable difference in major bleeding complication incidence between dabigatran and FXa inhibitors.

Insights Into Direct Oral Anticoagulant Therapy Implementation of Stroke Survivors with Atrial Fibrillation in an Ambulatory Setting
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia and increases the risk of ischemic stroke by about five times.1 Oral anticoagulation (OAC) with direct oral anticoagulants (DOAC) or vitamin K antagonists (VKA) reduces ischemic stroke risk in AF patients. Currently, DOAC (apixaban, dabigatran, edoxaban and rivaroxaban) are recommended as first-line treatment for stroke prevention in AF patients.2 Despite several advantages compared to VKA, DOAC have a short half-life of about 12 h. Missing more than 5% of intakes is associated with a higher occurrence of thromboembolic events in OAC-treated AF patients.

Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis and Acute Myocardial Infarction in a Patient with PAI-1 4G/4G Homozygosity
The plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) 4G/4G homozygous genotype represents a genetic thrombophilia that has been associated with enhanced risk of arterial and venous thrombotic events. The optimal anticoagulation strategy for PAI-1 4G homozygous patients is unclear. Herein we present a case of a patient with PAI-1 4G/4G homozygosity who was placed on dabigatran after developing cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST), but who then suffered an acute myocardial infarction several weeks later.

Dabigatran for Japanese Patients with Atrial Fibrillation and Prior Stroke: A Subgroup Analysis of the J-Dabigatran Surveillance Program
Background: The study objective was to evaluate long-term safety and effectiveness of dabigatran 110 mg and 150 mg twice daily (bid) in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) with a focus on secondary stroke prevention. Methods: In J-Dabigatran Surveillance, 6772 patients newly initiated on dabigatran to prevent ischemic stroke and systemic embolism were enrolled in Japan (1042 sites, December 2011 to November 2013). This subgroup analysis included patients with (1302) and without (5071) previous stroke/transient ischemic attack (TIA).

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.

Intravenous Thrombolysis After Idarucizumab Application in Acute Stroke Patients —A Potentially Increased Sensitivity of Thrombi to Lysis?
Background: Rapid inactivation of dabigatran by its specific inhibitor idarucizamab allows intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) in patients suffering ischemic stroke while being treated with dabigatran. Only limited data of this approach is available and numerous questions regarding efficacy/safety remain to be answered. Herein, we present the findings from the Slovenian national cohort study. Methods: Retrospective analysis of all stroke patients treated with idarucizumab and IVT (n = 11) in the period from July 2016 to February 2018 from Slovenian region were analyzed.

Intravenous Thrombolysis in Patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke after a Reversal of Dabigatran Anticoagulation with Idarucizumab: A Real-World Clinical Experience
Intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) is contraindicated in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) using oral anticoagulants. A specific human monoclonal antibody was introduced to reverse immediately the anticoagulation effect of the direct inhibitor of thrombin, dabigatran. Until now, mostly individual cases presenting with successful IVT after a reversal of dabigatran anticoagulation in patients with AIS were published. Thus, we aimed to report real-world data from clinical practice.

Thrombolytic Therapy in Severe Cardioembolic Stroke After Reversal of Dabigatran with Idarucizumab: Case Report and Literature Review
Whether idarucizumab, an antidote of dabigatran, can be used effectively and safely before thrombolytic therapy with recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA) in patients with stroke undergoing treatment with dabigatran remains unknown. We herein describe a 57-year-old man who developed severe cardioembolic stroke with a National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score of 22 in the left middle cerebral artery territory while undergoing treatment with dabigatran for nonvalvular atrial fibrillation and who was treated with rt-PA after the reversal of dabigatran with idarucizumab.

Severe Vasospasm of the Middle Cerebral Artery after Mechanical Thrombectomy Due to Infective Endocarditis: An Autopsy Case
We describe a case of middle cerebral artery occlusion due to IE, which caused severe vasospasm and reocclusion after mechanical thrombectomy (MT). We present the pathologic findings of the occluded middle cerebral artery and investigate the precautions to be taken while performing MT due to IE. A 72-year-old man with atrial fibrillation treated with dabigatran presented with right hemiparesis and aphasia.

Acute Stroke Despite Dabigatran Anticoagulation Treated with Idarucizumab and Intravenous Tissue Plasminogen Activator
Dabigatran is a direct thrombin inhibitor used to reduce the risk of stroke in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation. For patients who present with an acute stroke despite dabigatran therapy, clinical data on the use of intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (IV-tPA) is limited. There is an anticipated increased risk of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH) when using IV-tPA in patients on dabigatran therapy. In 2015, the humanized monoclonal antibody fragment idarucizumab was approved for rapid (minutes) reversal of anticoagulant effects of dabigatran.
