Risk of Stroke Outcomes in Atrial Fibrillation Patients Treated with Rivaroxaban and Warfarin
In a previous real-world study, rivaroxaban reduced the risk of stroke overall and severe stroke compared with warfarin in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF). The aim of this study was to assess the reproducibility in a different database of our previously observed results (Alberts M, et al. Stroke. 2020;51:549-555) on the risk of severe stroke among NVAF patients in a different population treated with rivaroxaban or warfarin.

Pre-treatment of Single and Double Antiplatelet and Anticoagulant With Intravenous Thrombolysis for Older Adults With Acute Ischemic Stroke: The TTT-AIS Experience
Conclusion: For older adults with higher baseline severity of acute ischemic stroke, DAPP may increase the risk of SICH and mortality post IVT. However, DAPP is still not an indication to withdraw IVT and to prescribe low-dose IVT for older adults.

Time to Stable Therapeutic Range on Initiation of Warfarin as an Indicator of Control
Warfarin remains widely used with a time in therapeutic range (TiTR) above 65% recommended for best outcomes. Patients not achieving or maintaining this warfarin control may be better suited to alternate anticoagulants. Despite this, there is limited data defining a suitable trial time in patients initiating warfarin therapy, therefore the aim of this study was to determine the mean time to stable therapeutic range (TtSTR).

Inactivated Four-Factor Prothrombin Complex Concentrate Dosing Practices for Reversal of Warfarin-Related Intracranial Hemorrhage
ConclusionsMost patients received single doses of I4F-PCC, with adjunctive reversal agents and rounding doses to vial size. The time difference from baseline INR to factor product administration is a potential opportunity for process improvement in the management of warfarin-related ICH.

Left Atrial Appendage Closure for Patients with Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy and Atrial Fibrillation: the LAA-CAA Cohort
AbstractAnticoagulation increases the risk of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) in patients with cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA), so the management of stroke-risk in patients with both atrial fibrillation (AF) and CAA is controversial. Advances in left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) techniques provide a stroke-risk-reduction option which avoids long-term oral anticoagulation (OAC). We aimed to evaluate the safety of this intervention in patients with CAA. This is an observational cohort study of patients with severe CAA (with or without ICH) and AF who were treated with LAA closure. The Watchman ™ and Amulet® LAAC devic...

Critical Issues and Recent Advances in Anticoagulant Therapy: A Review
Angelika Batta, Bhupinder S Kalra, Raj KhirasariaNeurology India 2019 67(5):1200-1212
As the population is aging, clinicians are coming across more patients with atrial fibrillation and venous thromboembolism requiring anticoagulation to prevent stroke and systemic embolisms. Due to a high prevalence and unfavorable consequences, managing thromboembolic diseases have become areas of clinical concern. Traditional anticoagulants like heparin, low molecular weight heparin and warfarin have been used for the prevention and treatment of venous and arterial thromboses. But, issues of bleeding, parenteral route of administration...

Multicenter prospective analysis of stroke patients taking oral anticoagulants: The PASTA registry - Study design and characteristics
The management of atrial fibrillation and deep venous thrombosis has evolved with the development of direct oral anticoagulants (DOAC), and oral anticoagulant (OAC) might influence the development or clinical course in both ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke. However, detailed data on the differences between the effects of the prior prescription of warfarin and DOAC on the clinical characteristics, neuroradiologic findings, and outcome of stroke are limited.

Use of anticoagulant therapy and cerebral microbleeds: a systematic review and meta-analysis
ConclusionAnticoagulant use is associated with higher prevalence and incidence of CMBs. This association appears to depend on location of CMBs and type of anticoagulants. More longitudinal investigations with adjustment for confounders are required to establish the causality.

Practice Variations in the Use of Novel Oral Anticoagulants for Nonvalvular Atrial Fibrillation-Related Stroke among Stroke Neurologists in Saudi Arabia.
In conclusion, the practice of stroke neurologists is consistent with and supports the available evidence from observational studies on the time of initiation of NOACs. Our findings provide a guide for clinicians who manage nvAF-related stroke until more robust evidence from randomized controlled trials is available.

Stroke and transient ischemic attacks related to antiplatelet or warfarin interruption
Conclusion Antiplatelet or vitamin K antagonist suspension has a temporal relationship with the occurrence of stroke and TIA. Since these events are preventable, it is crucial that healthcare professionals convince their patients that drug withdrawal can cause serious consequences.RESUMO Pacientes em terapia anticoagulante ou antiagregante plaquet ária frequentemente são solicitados a descontinuar essas medicações antes e durante procedimentos cirúrgicos ou invasivos. Se o paciente interromper tratamento sem supervisão médica, poderá aumentar de risco de acidente vascular cerebral (AVC). Objetivo Identificar preval...

A Therapeutic International Normalized Ratio Results in Smaller Infarcts and Better Outcomes for Patients with Ischemic Stroke
Background: Prior studies have shown that warfarin is effective for both primary and secondary stroke prevention in individuals with atrial fibrillation. It is also known that those on warfarin with atrial fibrillation often have poorer long-term poststroke outcomes, possibly because cardioembolic strokes tend to be larger and more severe. Less is known regarding the direct effect of the international normalized ratio (INR) value at the time of stroke on severity or long-term functional status. Methods: We prospectively followed a consecutive series of 112 patients presenting to our institution with acute ischemic stroke b...

Effectiveness of Nonvitamin K Antagonist Oral Anticoagulants and Warfarin for Preventing Further Cerebral Microbleeds in Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients with Nonvalvular Atrial Fibrillation and At Least One Microbleed: CMB-NOW Multisite Pilot Trial
Nonvitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOACs) are considered superior, or at least noninferior, to warfarin in preventing stroke or systemic embolism in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation. Here, we recruited acute ischemic stroke patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation and at least one cerebral microbleed (CMB), and evaluated the proportion of patients who had an increased number of CMBs (%) after receiving anticoagulant therapy with NOACs or with warfarin for 12 months.
