Abstract
Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) changed stroke prevention and decreased the risk of ischemic and hemorrhagic complications in patients on oral anticoagulation (OAC) therapy. The numbers of patients prescribed DOACs has increased rapidly. Availability of specific reversal agents opened new avenues in the prevention and management of DOAC complications. An ideal specific reversal agent for a DOAC in acute stroke is an agent which lacks safety concerns and immediately reverses DOAC anticoagulation activity, thereby enabling effective treatment. Reversal of anticoagulant activity is mandatory in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) before performing therapeutic procedures such as intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) and neurosurgery in intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) in order to improve clinical outcomes. In this manuscript we pursue an interdisciplinary approach in discussing advantages and concerns of specific reversal agents in acute stroke DOAC-treated patients in everyday clinical practice.
期刊介绍:
CATH is a peer-reviewed bi-monthly journal that addresses the practical clinical and laboratory issues involved in managing bleeding and clotting disorders, especially those related to thrombosis, hemostasis, and vascular disorders. CATH covers clinical trials, studies on etiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis and treatment of thrombohemorrhagic disorders.
