Abstract

The management of patients on direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) who require emergent cardiac surgery is slowly evolving. The introduction of andexanet alfa, a novel antidote for apixaban and rivaroxaban, added a specific reversal agent to our armamentarium, but its safety and efficacy are still being investigated. We report 2 patients on DOAC treatment who required emergency cardiac surgery. Both received perioperative andexanet alfa together with prothrombin complex concentrate (PCC) at some time during 6 hours before operative management. Heparin resistance was noted in each instance, and pump thrombosis developed in 1 case.
