Major Hemorrhagic Complications are Associated with Lower Coated-Platelet Levels in Patients with Non-Lacunar Brain Infarction (P5.127)

Conclusions: Lower levels of coated-platelets in ischemic stroke are associated with the presence of major bleeding complications in addition to the previously observed propensity to develop early hemorrhagic transformation. These findings further support a role for coated-platelets both in the balance between thrombosis and hemorrhage in stroke as well as a potential risk stratification tool.
