I hesitate to respond for this person, especially if he/she replies soon, but my guess is that she/he had a severe bleed that was made so much worse by the serum levels of apixaban. There is an antidote for apixaban, but I don't know how widely available it is. In any event, a blood replacement transfusion should add a lot of platelet capacity to a patient if it can be done in time.
