E-008 Clinical and Radiographic Outcome of Acute Ischemic Stroke Patient who Presented with Middle Cerebral Artery Occlusion-A Single Center Experience
Conclusions Solitaire retrieval device achieves a very high rate of recanalazitation in acute ischemic stroke with MCA occlusion and results in a good clinical outcome. However, a considerable valuable time is still lost from ER arrival to IR arrival. Patients who required endotracheal intubation at presentation and or had NIHSS 20 or higher are associated with poor outcome despite TICI3 recanalization. Further studied are required. Disclosures Y.

Fatal dabigatran toxicity secondary to acute renal failure
We describe the case of a 74-year-old man taking dabigatran 150 mg twice daily for atrial fibrillation who presented to the emergency department after 20 mL of hematemesis at home. Laboratory evaluation revealed a partial thromboplastin time of 99 seconds, international normalized ratio of 11.7, and creatine of 3.1 mg/dL (baseline creatine, 0.9 mg/dL). Upper endoscopy revealed diffuse gastritis and bleeding. Despite treatment with packed red blood cells and fresh frozen plasma, the patient's hematemesis persisted resulting in significant aspiration requiring endotracheal intubation. Per poison control center recommendation...
