          Abstract

          Resumen Una de las ventajas de dabigatrán, un nuevo anticoagulante oral de acción directa, es la disponibilidad de un antídoto que permite revertir su actividad: idarucizumab. Este fármaco es utilizado en procedimientos o intervenciones quirúrgicas de urgencia y en hemorragias potencialmente mortales o no controladas. Dabigatrán presenta una semivida de 12-14 horas, alargándose si la función renal está afectada. La decisión de cuándo interrumpir su administración depende del valor del aclaramiento de creatinina y del riesgo hemorrágico de la intervención. Presentamos el caso de un paciente en tratamiento con dabigatrán que ingresa para la realización de una cirugía de cadera tras una caída. Al ingreso se suspende dabigatrán, llevándose a cabo la cirugía al décimo día tras su suspensión. Antes de la cirugía se decide la administración de idarucizumab por continuar alterados los tiempos de coagulación. Exponemos en este caso la falta de mejoría de los tiempos de coagulación tras el uso del antídoto, cuya explicación se pueda deber al largo periodo entre la administración de idarucizumab y la última dosis de dabigatrán administrada (10 días). Por lo tanto, en caso de no poder medir los niveles de dabigatrán, es importante tener en cuenta además de los tiempos de coagulación, aspectos farmacológicos del dabigatrán como la farmacocinética, para evitar la administración innecesaria del antídoto, que puede suponer un riesgo y costes innecesarios.

          Abstract One of the advantages of dabigatran, a new direct-acting oral anticoagulant, is the availability of an antidote to reverse its activity: idarucizumab. This drug is used in emergency surgical procedures or interventions and in life-threatening or uncontrolled bleeding. Dabigatran has a half-life of 12-14 hours, lengthening if renal function is affected. The decision on when to interrupt the administration depends on the creatinine clearance rate and the bleeding risk of the procedure. We present the case of a patient on dabigatran treatment who was hospitalized for hip surgery after a fall. On admission, dabigatran was suspended, and surgery was performed on the tenth day after its suspension. Before surgery, it was decided to administer idarucizumab due to continued altered coagulation times. In this case, it is reported the lack of improvement in clotting times after the use of the antidote, which may be explained by the long period of time between the administration of idarucizumab and the last dose of dabigatran administered (10 days). Therefore, in case of dabigatran levels cannot be measured, it is important to consider, in addition to clotting times, pharmacological aspects of dabigatran such as pharmacokinetics, in order to avoid unnecessary administration of the antidote, which may entail unnecessary risk and costs.

          Dabigatran versus warfarin in patients with atrial fibrillation.

          Warfarin reduces the risk of stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation but increases the risk of hemorrhage and is difficult to use. Dabigatran is a new oral direct thrombin inhibitor. In this noninferiority trial, we randomly assigned 18,113 patients who had atrial fibrillation and a risk of stroke to receive, in a blinded fashion, fixed doses of dabigatran--110 mg or 150 mg twice daily--or, in an unblinded fashion, adjusted-dose warfarin. The median duration of the follow-up period was 2.0 years. The primary outcome was stroke or systemic embolism. Rates of the primary outcome were 1.69% per year in the warfarin group, as compared with 1.53% per year in the group that received 110 mg of dabigatran (relative risk with dabigatran, 0.91; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.74 to 1.11; P<0.001 for noninferiority) and 1.11% per year in the group that received 150 mg of dabigatran (relative risk, 0.66; 95% CI, 0.53 to 0.82; P<0.001 for superiority). The rate of major bleeding was 3.36% per year in the warfarin group, as compared with 2.71% per year in the group receiving 110 mg of dabigatran (P=0.003) and 3.11% per year in the group receiving 150 mg of dabigatran (P=0.31). The rate of hemorrhagic stroke was 0.38% per year in the warfarin group, as compared with 0.12% per year with 110 mg of dabigatran (P<0.001) and 0.10% per year with 150 mg of dabigatran (P<0.001). The mortality rate was 4.13% per year in the warfarin group, as compared with 3.75% per year with 110 mg of dabigatran (P=0.13) and 3.64% per year with 150 mg of dabigatran (P=0.051). In patients with atrial fibrillation, dabigatran given at a dose of 110 mg was associated with rates of stroke and systemic embolism that were similar to those associated with warfarin, as well as lower rates of major hemorrhage. Dabigatran administered at a dose of 150 mg, as compared with warfarin, was associated with lower rates of stroke and systemic embolism but similar rates of major hemorrhage.
