Intravenous thrombolysis in acute ischemic stroke after dabigatran reversal with idarucizumab - a case report.

Much excitement has been generated with the approval of idarucizumab, a humanized monoclonal antigen-binding antibody fragment that is capable of reversing the anticoagulant activity of dabigatran. Here, we describe our initial experience of using tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) in an acute posterior circulation ischemic stroke after dabigatran reversal with idarucizumab. Both treatments were well tolerated and no hemorrhagic or procoagulatory complications were observed.
