Management of anticoagulation (warfarin and heparin) during intracranial haemorrhage

Highlights the clinical dilemma of balancing thromboembolic risk against further bleeding when managing anticoagulation in patients with mechanical heart valves who experience intracranial haemorrhage.

Cite This Study

F Crawley (2000) conducted a case report in Intracranial bleeding associated with anticoagulation for prosthetic heart valves (n=1). Anticoagulation (warfarin and heparin) was evaluated. Anticoagulation with warfarin and heparin in a patient with a prosthetic aortic valve resulted in 3 intracranial bleeds, illustrating the challenge of balancing bleeding and thromboembolic risks.
