Abstract
We here describe our experience of systemic thrombolysis therapy for severe ischemic stroke in a patient taking dabigatran for atrial fibrillation. After administration of the monoclonal antibody fragment idarucizumab, the anticoagulative effects of dabigatran were efficiently antagonized and application of alteplase was safe and feasible in our patient. This case report may illustrate a novel treatment option in the neurological emergency setting.Entities:
