A member asked:
I am taking xarelto for blood clots in my right leg after ortho surgery. they threw bilateral pulm emboli. if i needed stat surgery what happens?

Give PCC before surg: Obviously the Xarelto would be stopped. They could give you PCC (prothrombin complex concentrate) to try and help reverse the effects of Xarelto and reduce the bleeding risk of surgery.
