Warfarin-Resistant Deep Vein Thrombosis during the Treatment of Acute Ischemic Stroke in Lung Adenocarcinoma
A 66-year-old man with acute ischemic stroke in the setting of lung adenocarcinoma developed acute-onset deep vein thrombosis (DVT) of the lower limbs after changing to warfarin from a heparin combination. The diagnosis of warfarin-resistant DVT was established based on the laboratory data and clinical evaluation. Heparin administration resulted in good control of thrombin regulation. Cancer patients are at high risk of venous thromboembolism, and the combination of these 2 conditions is known as Trousseau's syndrome.

Stroke risk 'higher at start of warfarin treatment'
Conclusion This study has found that warfarin was associated with an increased risk of ischaemic stroke during the first 30 days of treatment. After 30 days of treatment, warfarin was associated with a decreased risk of stroke. However, this study has a number of limitations that should be considered: All information was from patient records, which means that it wasn't subject to recall bias, but the information may not be complete – we do not know if, for example, people took the medication they were prescribed. There may be other factors (confounders) that explain the association seen. In particular, the ba...

Prevalence, main determinants, and early outcome of patients with atrial fibrillation hospitalized with ischemic stroke: evaluation of the value of risk assessment scores for predicting risk of stroke or major bleeding following anticoagulation therapy.
CONCLUSION: The patients with atrial fibrillation hospitalized with ischemic stroke showed an important absolute risk of further stroke and early mortality. Despite substantiated advantages of warfarin prophylaxis, its limited application is still very common. PMID: 26422431 [PubMed - in process]

Atrial fibrillation and risk of stroke: a nationwide cohort study
Conclusions Stroke/TE/TIA risk was particularly increased when prior stroke/TE/TIA was present. Atrial fibrillation is associated with an increase in risk of stroke/TE/TIA in the absence of other risk factors but only a moderate increase in risk when other risk factors are present.

Efficacy and safety of edoxaban in comparison with dabigatran, rivaroxaban and apixaban for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation. An indirect comparison analysis.
Abstract Large Phase 3 clinical trials for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation (AF) have compared non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOACs) against warfarin, with the edoxaban trial only recently reported. In the absence of head to head trials directly comparing these NOACs against each other, we compared the efficacy and safety of edoxaban to other agents by an indirect comparison analysis. We performed an indirect comparison analysis of edoxaban (2 dose strategies) against apixaban (1 dose), dabigatran etexilate (2 doses) and rivaroxaban (1 dose), for their relative efficacy and safety against ea...

Timing of Initiation of Oral Anticoagulation after Acute Ischemic Stroke in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation
AbstractPatients with atrial fibrillation (AF) who suffer an acute ischemic stroke are at risk for both hemorrhagic transformation and recurrent ischemic stroke in the acute post ‐stroke period. Oral anticoagulants are recommended for secondary stroke prevention in patients with AF. The optimal time to initiate anticoagulant therapy after acute ischemic stroke in patients with AF is uncertain. There is concern that early initiation increases the risk of hemorrhagic transfo rmation, whereas delayed initiation leaves the patient at risk for recurrent ischemic stroke. In this article, we provide a review of the risk of hemo...

Use of Intravenous Recombinant Tissue Plasminogen Activator in Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients Taking Non-Vitamin K Antagonist Oral Anticoagulants (NOACs) Before Stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: -While experience of using rt-PA in ischemic stroke patients on a NOAC is limited, these preliminary observations suggest that rt-PA appears to be reasonably well tolerated without prohibitive risks for adverse events among selected NOAC treated patients. Future study should evaluate the safety and efficacy of intravenous rt-PA in ischemic stroke patients taking NOACs. PMID: 28119380 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Preoperative risk factor analysis of postoperative stroke after Cox-maze procedure with mitral valve repair
Conclusions: In the group of patients who underwent the Cox-Maze procedure with mitral valve repair, having a stroke history was the only preoperative risk factor that could lead to a stroke event after surgery. Accordingly, patients with affliction of ischemic stroke, albeit sustained sinus rhythm, may require prophylactic anticoagulation.

Atrial Fibrillation and Ischemic Stroke: A Clinical Review
Semin Neurol DOI: 10.1055/s-0041-1726332Atrial fibrillation (AF) is an important risk factor for ischemic stroke resulting in a fivefold increased stroke risk and a twofold increased mortality. Our understanding of stroke mechanisms in AF has evolved since the concept of atrial cardiopathy was introduced as an underlying pathological change, with both AF and thromboembolism being common manifestations and outcomes. Despite the strong association with stroke, there is no evidence that screening for AF in asymptomatic patients improves clinical outcomes; however, there is strong evidence that patients with embolic stroke of ...

Preventing stroke and systemic embolism in renal patients with atrial fibrillation: focus on anticoagulation.
Abstract Chronic kidney disease and atrial fibrillation (AF) commonly coexist, and data suggest that renal patients have AF rates in excess of double that encountered in the general population. These patients are at increased risk of stroke, regardless of the presence or absence of AF. Furthermore, a lower GFR causes increased thromboembolic risk in patients with AF - independent of other risk factors. The dilemma facing clinicians treating this cohort of patients is that renal insufficiency confers both a thromboembolic and a bleeding risk. Renal disease also commonly coexists with other risk factors for stroke a...

Abstract 201: Are Patients With Atrial Fibrillation Willing to Consider New Strategies to Prevent Stroke? A Qualitative Analysis of Community-Based Focus Groups Session Title: Abstract Poster Session II
Conclusion: Focus group participants expressed a fear of debilitating stroke, with varying levels of acceptance of inconveniences and potential bleeding associated with blood thinners. Among a subset of participants, there was willingness to consider new stroke prevention therapies; however, this was preferred with a known, trusted physician. Subspecialized clinicians offering new therapies may be challenged to establish perceived mutual respect with patients, traditionally built over time, and this may be required for patients to consider new therapies. Future research is needed to determine best practices for both establ...

Impact of renal function on ischemic stroke and major bleeding rates in nonvalvular atrial fibrillation patients treated with warfarin or rivaroxaban: a retrospective cohort study using real-world evidence.
CONCLUSIONS: Ischemic stroke rates were significantly lower in the overall NVAF population for rivaroxaban vs warfarin users, including patients with eCrCl below 50 mL/min. For all renal function groups, major bleeding risks were not statistically different between treatment groups. PMID: 28590785 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

In Potential Stroke Patients on Warfarin, the International Normalized Ratio Predicts Ischemia
Conclusions: Sub-therapeutic INR and atrial fibrillation are strongly associated with ischemia in patients on warfarin presenting with acute neurologic symptoms. Ischemia is far less likely in patients with an INR of ≥2 and rare in those with an INR ≥3.6. This study shows that the INR value of a patient on warfarin can help stratify patients’ risk for acute ischemic stroke and guide further neurologic imaging and workup.Cerebrovasc Dis Extra 2017;7:111 –119
