Outcome of flow diverter placement for intracranial aneurysm with dual antiplatelet therapy and oral anticoagulant therapy.

CONCLUSIONS: Additional oral anticoagulant administration before flow diverter placement does not reduce ischemic complications compared to dual antiplatelet therapy, but does increase hemorrhagic complications, especially delayed aneurysm rupture. Complete obliteration of the cerebral aneurysm is difficult to achieve in patients taking anticoagulants. PMID: 32727310 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
