Overview

Retrospective analysis finds perioperative acetylsalicylic acid does not increase intracranial hemorrhage in brain metastases surgery, suggesting continued prophylaxis is safe for high-risk patients.

Key Points

  • Preoperative acetylsalicylic acid does not significantly increase postoperative intracranial hemorrhage risk in patients undergoing resection of brain metastases.
  • Just 2 patients taking acetylsalicylic acid developed postoperative intracranial hemorrhage, showing no statistically significant risk increase at p = 0.120.
  • Retrospective analysis supports the safety of continuing acetylsalicylic acid during elective brain tumor surgery for patients facing elevated cardiovascular risks.
