Hypothesis-generating for reversal plus thrombectomy in dabigatran-associated stroke; prospective trials needed before adoption.
Javedani et al. (2013) conducted a case report in Acute ischemic stroke (n=1). Suction thrombectomy and dabigatran reversal (prothrombin complex concentrate and recombinant factor VIIa) was evaluated on NIHSS score and coagulation studies. Suction thrombectomy and dabigatran reversal using prothrombin complex concentrate and recombinant factor VIIa in a 54-year-old man with acute ischemic stroke resulted in a discharge NIHSS score of 8.
