[Antagonizing anticoagulants in intracranial hemorrhage - step by step]. / Antikoagulation antagonisieren bei intrakranieller Blutung ­ Schritt für Schritt.

ABSTRACT

Intravenous thrombolysis for acute ischemic stroke is an indispensable tool and current standard of care in neurology. However, until recently direct therapeutic options for intracranial hemorrhage under existing anticoagulation were not available. With the introduction of two new medications - Idarucizumab and Andexanet alfa - neurologists take a more targeted approach in treating these patients.
