Safety of Endovascular Thrombectomy for Acute Ischaemic Stroke in Anticoagulated Patients Ineligible for Intravenous Thrombolysis

Conclusion: Mechanical thrombectomy appears to be safe and effective in anticoagulated patients ineligible for thrombolysis, with observed haemorrhage rates similar to those of patients not on anticoagulant therapy. However, further multicentre prospective studies are needed, due to the rising number of patients on warfarin and DOACs worldwide.Cerebrovasc Dis 2018;46:193 –199
