Idarucizumab for Dabigatran Reversal in the Management of Patients With Gastrointestinal Bleeding

摘要

BACKGROUND: Although dabigatran has a favorable risk-benefit profile compared with vitamin K antagonist therapy for venous thromboembolism and nonvalvular atrial fibrillation, major bleeding events, including gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding, may occur. Therefore, our aim was to provide insights into the efficacy and safety of idarucizumab for urgent dabigatran reversal in patients with major GI bleeding.
