ABSTRACT
In recent decades, an incredible evolution in antithrombotic therapies for the treatment of patients suffering from atherosclerosis, atrial fibrillation and venous thromboembolism occurred, leading to the availability of increasingly safe drugs. However, bleeding complications associated with these drugs still have an important health, social and economic impact. Recently, with the aim of improving the acute management of patients with or at risk of major bleeding events, specific reversal agents of antithrombotic drugs have been developed. Although these agents have demonstrated their effectiveness in small pharmacodynamic studies or clinical trials, it is important to consider that the benefit of reversal of an antiplatelet or anticoagulant drug must always be counterbalanced by the possible prothrombotic effect caused by the removal of antithrombotic protection as well as by prothrombotic mechanisms related to bleeding, major surgery or trauma.In this ANMCO/SIMEU consensus document we summarize the main characteristics and efficacy studies of the currently available reversal agents and present practical flow-charts in which we suggest their possible use in patients with active bleeding or at high risk of major bleeding events.
