Article Synopsis
- Dural arteriovenous fistula (dAVF) is typically treated with endovascular therapy, but this method has risks like embolic material migration and brain infarction.* -
- A case involving a man with left hemiparesis revealed a successfully treated dAVF, but also resulted in complications such as subarachnoid hemorrhage post-treatment.* -
- The case emphasizes the importance of careful preoperative assessments and thorough postoperative monitoring in managing dAVF, with a need for more research on unexplained complications.*

Although its efficacy has been recently reported, the drug is still in postmarketing surveillance and requires case data in different emergency settings. A newer intravenous thrombolytic therapy with recombinant tissue plasminogen activator has been proposed after injection of idarucizumab in patients receiving dabigatran; however, the safety and efficacy of this therapy are equivocal because of the limited number of reported cases.
