Emergency Open Repair for Ruptured Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Using Idarucizumab: A Case Report

Emergency Open Repair for Ruptured Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Using Idarucizumab: A Case Report

Review Data

Purpose and Significance of Study: This is the report of a rare case of successful use of idarucizumab in open repair of ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm. It also includes the description and management of an informative thromboembolic event in the 67-year-old patient.

Fit with Scope of Journal: The manuscript is of very high interest for the Journal of Integrative Cardiology Open Access.

The Discussion is apt and covers the evolution of direct oral anticoagulants (DOAC) as first-line therapy for atrial fibrillation, the development of idarucizumab as an antidote for the DOAC dabigatran, and the rationale for further research into the time of resumption of anticoagulant therapy post operation owing to the risk of thromboembolic events.

 

o   The manuscript contains some very minor errors (already corrected in the galley proof), which are listed below –

 

·       In the 1st sentence of the Background in the Abstract, “agents” must be replaced with “agent”, in the Case presentation in the Abstract, “deficits” must be replaced with “deficit”, and in the Conclusion in the Abstract, “promotes” must be replaced with “promote”.

·       In the 2nd sentence of the 4th paragraph, “that” after “All” must be replaced with “the”.
