Despite the proven efficacy of oral anticoagulants for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation and treating acute venous thromboembolism, many eligible patients either miss guideline-recommended therapy or receive incorrect dosages, leading to suboptimal outcomes. These gaps in clinician knowledge contribute to underuse, inappropriate dosing, and poor clinical decision-making, especially in high-risk populations.

Despite improved safety with direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs), the degree of clinical risk involved in their use, and the considerable cost of the available reversal agents, it is imperative that clinicians are versant in best practices for their use in emergent, urgent, and elective clinical situations. The AC Forum has created this case-based enduring learning program with a multidisciplinary panel of experts discussing practical guidance for the timely and safe use of reversal agents in major bleeding.
