Abstract
We report a case of severe acute ischaemic stroke in a patient who could not receive treatment with thrombolysis due to concomitant treatment with dabigatran (new anticoagulant drug). Endovascular treatment was the only treatment of choice. Due to well-organized prehospital logistics, including helicopter transport, the patient arrived at hospital shortly after onset of symptoms and was treated successfully with thrombectomy.
