| Popis: | This article presents modern possibilities for the provision of emergency surgical care to patients with atrial fibrillation, who administered dabigatran etexilate. We describe two clinical situations, in which idarucizumab, a specific dabigatran antagonist, which is a monoclonal antibody fragment that binds dabigatran, was used to neutralize the anticoagulant effect of dabigatran etexilate before emergency surgery. In the first case, the patient developed acute gangrenous calculous cholecystitis, in the second a patient required an urgent epicystostomy. In both cases, the successful outcome of surgical interventions was due to the effective interactions of the team of specialists and adherence to the algorithm for providing emergency care to such patients, as well as the presence of idarucizumab in hospitals. The postoperative management of patients and the timely resumption of anticoagulant therapy to prevent thromboembolic complications is no less important. The presented clinical cases confirm the feasibility of using idarucizumab to provide emergency surgical care to patients on dabigatran etexilate, as well as the need to take into account the possible risk of emergency interventions when anticoagulant therapy is prescribed to patients with atrial fibrillation. This paper discusses special risk groups of patients in whom rapid reversal of anticoagulation is required due to altered hemostasis.We outline data of a prospective cohort study (RE-VERSE AD), which examined the efficacy and safety of idarucizumab in patients with uncontrolled bleeding and in patients requiring urgent surgery. We also present the RE-VECTO study data on the use of idarucizumab in real-life clinical practice. |
