Pre-admission antithrombotic use is associated with 3-month mRS score after thrombectomy for acute ischemic stroke
AbstractIn patients who undergo thrombectomy for acute ischemic stroke, the relationship between pre-admission antithrombotic (anticoagulation or antiplatelet) use and both radiographic and functional outcome is not well understood. We sought to explore the relationship between pre-admission antithrombotic use in patients who underwent thrombectomy for acute ischemic stroke at two medical centers in New York City between December 2018 and November 2020. Analyses were performed using analysis of variance and Pearson ’s chi-squared tests. Of 234 patients in the analysis cohort, 65 (28%) were on anticoagulation, 64 (27%) we...

Hemorrhagic Transformation and Stroke Recurrence in Children with Cardiac Disease Receiving Antithrombotic Therapy for Secondary Stroke Prevention
CONCLUSIONS: In spite of the 24% hemorrhagic transformation rate, antithrombotic therapy has a positive risk-balance in certain cardioembolic stroke subgroups, particularly in those with single-ventricle physiology, when accounting for stroke volume.PMID:34152075 | DOI:10.1111/jth.15428
