Objective Antiphospholipid antibody (aPL) syndrome (APS) classification requires a thrombotic event and detection of lupus anticoagulant (LAC), anticardiolipin antibodies (aCL), or anti–β2‐glycoprotein I (anti‐β2GPI) antibodies on two occasions ≥12 weeks apart. Here, we investigated the utility of anti–phosphatidylserine/prothrombin complex (anti‐PS/PT)

The Role of Genetics in Stroke Risk and Outcome: A Review of Current Evidence
This study delineates the multiple pathways leading to stroke, encompassing genetic risk factors such as lipid/cholesterol metabolism, blood pressure regulation genes, and endothelial dysfunction. The report includes genetic pathways such as Val66Met polymorphism, prothrombin G20210A, interleukin‐6 and tumor necrosis factor gene variant, along with ...

Dabigatran for catastrophic antiphospholipid syndrome
: Vitamin K antagonists (VKA) remain the treatment of choice for catastrophic antiphosphilipid syndrome (CAPS). However, when VKAs do not work for a specific patient, direct oral anticoagulants (DOAC) may be a valid therapeutic alternative. We present a patient with a psychiatric disorder and CAPS who was noncompliant to VKA and low-molecular-weight ...

ABSTRACT Background There are sparse data to guide resumption of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) versus warfarin in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) who survive a major gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB) event. Objective To compare the risk–benefit profile of restarting DOACs versus warfarin among patients with AF following hospitalization for ...

Dabigatran for left ventricular thrombus
Male patient in dilated phase of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy had multiple hospitalizations during the past 2 years either due to congestive heart failure, stroke, scar epilepsy, or atrial fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia. Medication included evidence based therapy for heart failure, cordarone and warfarin. Anticoagulation had to be discontinued

ABSTRACT Introduction Pediatric plastic bronchitis (PB) is a rare complication of surgically palliated congenital heart disease (CHD). Fibrin casts obstruct airways and can cause respiratory distress. There are no therapeutics approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration to treat PB, but inhaled tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) has been

Interstitial pneumonia caused by dabigatran
We describe the case of a 73-year-old man who experienced dry cough and exertional dyspnea after dabigatran administration. Chest radiographs revealed the development of bilateral consolidative and ground glass opacity, and transbronchial lung biopsy showed organized materials in the alveolar spaces with moderate inflammatory infiltrate and focal ...
