Why the study?
Does intra-arterial therapy increase parenchymal hematoma in acute ischemic stroke patients on oral anticoagulation compared to normal hemostasis or IV tPA?
Does intra-arterial therapy increase parenchymal hematoma in acute ischemic stroke patients on oral anticoagulation compared to normal hemostasis or IV tPA?
Intra-arterial therapy appears safe for acute ischemic stroke patients on oral anticoagulation, with no significant increase in parenchymal hematoma compared to those with normal hemostasis or receiving IV tPA.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May support intra-arterial therapy in anticoagulated stroke patients without excess hematoma; leaves open randomized confirmation.
