Abstract

We report the use of dabigatran was found to be 
associated with Factor VIII inhibitors and prolonged APTT in the 
three cases. Taking the dabigatran was recognized prolonged 
APTT, low titer Factor Ⅷ inhibitors and reduction of Factor Ⅷ. 
Once these cases stopped dabigatran in a variety of causes. At the 
time of dabigatran discontinuation, APTT was normal value and 
Factor Ⅷ, Factor Ⅷ inhibitor became the normal value. When 
dabigatran resumed. APTT was prolonged and low titer Factor Ⅷ 
inhibitors and reduction of Factor Ⅷ. Side effects of bleeding at 
the time of APTT prolongation was not admitted in three cases.
