New Treatment for Blood Clot Formation in the Brain ! A new drug may reduce the risk of patients suffering a hemorrhagic stroke, according to a research study. The medication called “dabigatran etexilate” was given to a group of test subjects who were undergoing surgery. Dabigatran etexilate is an anticoagulant (anti-clotting agent) that is used for preventing and treating heart attacks, deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, artificial valve replacement, atrial fibrillation and cerebral infarction (a type of stroke). The researchers found dabigatran to be effective in reducing the formation of blood clots after surgical procedures, as well as the rate of death or disability due to bleeding complications. Introduction: A New Treatment for Blood Clot Formation in the Brain Has Been Developed. A recent breakthrough in medical science has led to a new way of treating patients who suffer from a type of stroke known as cerebral thrombosis. This is the first time that scientists hav
