Abstract:
The traditional drug for anticoagulation in those with a high risk of thrombosis is a vitamin K antagonist, such as warfarin. On the other hand, this drug has several limitations and hemorrhagic complications. Recently, novel or non-vitamin K-dependent antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOACs) have been developed to solve these problems. This paper presents a case of adaptation of NOAC for a warfarin anticoagulated patient with traumatic ongoing hemorrhages with a discussion of the clinical implications of NOAC.
