Popis:	Dabigatran was shown to be inferior to warfarin for patients with mechanical heart valves. However it was postulated that its inferiority was limited to early post-operative period where the valves had not been adequately endothelialized. We present a case where thromboembolic acute coronary syndrome developed in a patient six months after switching from warfarin to dabigatran, despite three years after mechanical mitral valve replacement. We propose an alternative explanation for dabigatran failure.
