Case ReportsSystemic thrombolysis and endovascular thrombectomy in severe acute ischemic stroke after dabigatran reversal with idarucizumab.
Patients presenting with an acute ischemic stroke despite dabigatran therapy (last intake <24 h or unknown) should be evaluated for reversal by idarucizumab, making them eligible for safe and effective intravenous thrombolysis. It has been shown to be feasible, well-tolerated, and easy to manage in an emergency room or stroke unit.
