Impact of type of oral anticoagulants in patients with cerebral microbleeds after atrial fibrillation-related ischemic stroke or TIA: Results of the NOACISP-LONGTERM registry

Strokes were numerically higher under VKAs and increased in the presence of CMBs.Clinical trial registrationhttp://www.clinicaltrials.gov, Unique identifier: NCT03826927.
