Does continued anticoagulation remain safe in patients with cerebral hemorrhagic infarction secondary to embolic stroke?

Population

12 patients (11 men, 1 woman, ages 33 to 77) with cerebral hemorrhagic infarction visualized on CT, secondary to embolic stroke, who were on anticoagulation for prevention of recurrent embolism.

Intervention

Continued or resumed anticoagulation (heparin, warfarin, or both) despite the CT appearance of hemorrhagic infarction.

Outcome

Clinical stability or improvement of neurologic signs and CT appearance of hemorrhagic areas.safety

Continued anticoagulation may be safe in selected patients with hemorrhagic infarction secondary to embolic stroke when the risk of recurrent embolism is high.
