Apixaban (Eliquis®) is a direct and competitive inhibitor of factor FXa that is approved for thrombosis prophylaxis after hip and knee replacement surgery, in non-valvular atrial fibrillation and venous thromboembolic events therapy [1]. In cases of severe hemorrhages there is no approved specific antidote available to reverse the effect of apixaban yet. Previous animal and in vitro studies [2, 3] with supratherapeutic concentrations of apixaban (200ng ml-1) have shown that activated prothrombin complex concentrate (aPCC) and recombinant factor VIIa (rFVIIa) have a greater effect in reversing the effect of apixaban than prothrombin complex concentrate (PCC). The effect of these non-specific hemostatic agents for reversal of apixaban concentrations measured in patients after prophylactic doses (maximum observed plasma concentration 62 ng ml-1 [4]) remains unclear.
