- Maximum Reversal of Anticoagulant Effect of Dabigatran Based on Central Laboratory Determination of dTT or ECT [ Time Frame: from the end of the first infusion up to 4 hours after the last infusion on Day 1 ]
Maximum reversal of anticoagulant effect of dabigatran based on central laboratory determination of diluted thrombin time (dTT) or ecarin clotting time (ECT), at any time point from the end of the first infusion up to 4 hours after the last infusion.
Reversal is defined for patients with at least one post-dose coagulation test results and pre-dose result higher than 100% ULN (evaluable patients).
Reversal is calculated as 100* (pre-dose value minus post dose value)/(pre-dose value minus 100% x ULN); if calculated reversal is > 100, it was set to 100.
- Reversal of aPTT and TT From Central Laboratory [ Time Frame: from the end of the first infusion up to 4 hours after the last infusion on Day 1 ]
Reversal of anticoagulation as measured by Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (aPTT) and Thrombin time (TT), at any time point since the end of first infusion up to 4 hours after the completion of the last infusion. Reversal is defined for patients with at least one post-dose coagulation test results and pre-dose result higher than 100% ULN (evaluable patients).
Reversal is calculated as 100* (pre-dose value minus post dose value)/(pre-dose value minus 100% x ULN); if calculated reversal is > 100, it was set to 100.
- Duration of Reversal [ Time Frame: from the first infusion up to 24 hours after the last infusion on Day 1 ]Duration of reversal, defined as the time period a patient remained completely reversed based on dTT or ECT, up to 24 hours or re-starting the treatment of dabigatran.
- Occurrence of Major/Life-threatening/Fatal Bleeding (for Group B Only) Intraoperatively [ Time Frame: within 24 hours of surgery ]Occurrence of major/life-threatening/fatal bleeding (for group B only) intraoperatively and up to 24 hours post-surgery were classified according to major or life-threatening bleeding (ISTH [International Society for Thrombosis and Hemostasis] definition). 95% Confidence Interval (CI) is from Clopper-Pearson method.
- Time to Cessation of Bleeding (for Group A Only) [ Time Frame: from the first infusion up to 24 hours after the last infusion on Day 1 ]Time to cessation of bleeding (for Group A only) since first infusion up to 24 hours after the completion of second infusion; bleeding status was to be categorized before and at several time points after treatment.
- Cmin,1 of Unbound Sum (Free) Dabigatran [ Time Frame: Since the end of first vial of idarucizumab up to 4 hours after the completion of second vial ]Cmin,1 (Minimum concentrations at any time point since the end of first vial of idarucizumab up to 4 hours after the completion of second vial) of unbound sum (free) dabigatran, provided that two vials given not more than 15 min apart in group A and B.
- Reversal of Anticoagulation as Measured by Diluted Thrombin Time (dTT) or Ecarin Clotting Time (ECT) After the First Vial of Idarucizumab and Before the Start of Second Vial [ Time Frame: after the first vial of idarucizumab and before the start of second vial on Day1 ]
Reversal of anticoagulation as measured by diluted Thrombin Time (dTT) or Ecarin Clotting Time (ECT) after the first vial of idarucizumab and before the start of second vial.
Reversal is defined for patients with at least one post-dose coagulation test results and pre-dose result higher than 100% ULN (evaluable patients). Reversal is calculated as 100*(pre-dose value minus post dose value)/(pre-dose value minus 100% x ULN); if calculated reversal is > 100, it was set to 100.
