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...

5-Fluorouracil–induced Leukoencephalopathy with Acute Stroke-like Presentation Fulfilling Criteria for Recombinant Tissue Plasminogen Activator Therapy
A 61-year-old man underwent systemic chemotherapy with intravenous infusion of nedaplatin and 5-fluorouracil. On the day after the final drug administration, he suddenly experienced difficulty in speaking followed by left-sided weakness. His National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score was 12. A computed tomographic scan of the brain performed 4 hours after symptom onset revealed no abnormalities. Because all eligibility criteria were fulfilled, he immediately underwent intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator therapy. He recovered from neurologic complications on day 14. An initial magnetic resonance imagi...
