Thrombus remnant despite intra-arterial thrombolysis for thrombus formation during endovascular treatment of ruptured cerebral aneurysms: Does it harm?
If the patency of parent artery is maintained and the size of the thrombus remnant does not increase on delayed angiography after intra-arterial thrombolysis, postoperative thromboembolic events rarely occur.
In this retrospective study from clinical material, we found a low incidence of TE when dabigatran was used as TE prophylaxis in association with elective cardioversion. These results indicate that dabigatran is a safe alternative strategy to warfarin during cardioversion in patients with AF.
