#1 Reversibility : Neurologist's perspective

A stroke can create long-term challenges for patients and caregivers. Novel oral anticoagulants help in the prevention of stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation. In cases when patients are for emergency procedure like IV thrombolysis for ischemic stroke and are on dabigatran, it is always reassuring to know that reversibility of NOAC effect is possible to proceed with contemplated procedure. Professor Dr. Martin Grond opines on managing such critical situations with a specific reversal agent like idarucizumab.
