Evaluation of Antithrombotic Bridging Methods in Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients with Atrial Fibrillation (P6.281)

Conclusions:Preliminary data supports against bridging with parenteral anticoagulation in acute ischemic stroke and AF, with a higher incidence of complications observed overall. Higher incidence of extracranial complications observed with bridging anticoagulation and higher incidence of intracranial complications observed from bridging antiplatelet therapy. This finding may be related to the limited number of patients included. A future goal for this project will be to expand the number of charts reviewed to strengthen the validity of these results.Disclosure: Dr. Swafford has nothing to disclose.
