A Narrative Review of Nonvitamin K Antagonist Oral Anticoagulant Use in Secondary Stroke Prevention
The prevalence of atrial fibrillation (AF), the most common cardiac arrhythmia, increases with age, predisposing elderly patients to an increased risk of embolic stroke. With an increasingly aged population the number of people who experience a stroke every year, overall global burden of stroke, and numbers of stroke survivors and related deaths continue to increase. Anticoagulation with vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) reduces the risk of ischemic stroke in patients with AF; however, increased bleeding risk is well documented, particularly in the elderly.

Temporal Trends in Pharmacological Stroke Prevention in Patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke and Known Atrial Fibrillation
Oral anticoagulation (OAC) substantially reduces stroke risk in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) at risk for stroke. Whether non-vitamin K-dependent oral anticoagulants (NOACs) improve OAC use in stroke prevention requires investigation.

Insights Into Direct Oral Anticoagulant Therapy Implementation of Stroke Survivors with Atrial Fibrillation in an Ambulatory Setting
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia and increases the risk of ischemic stroke by about five times.1 Oral anticoagulation (OAC) with direct oral anticoagulants (DOAC) or vitamin K antagonists (VKA) reduces ischemic stroke risk in AF patients. Currently, DOAC (apixaban, dabigatran, edoxaban and rivaroxaban) are recommended as first-line treatment for stroke prevention in AF patients.2 Despite several advantages compared to VKA, DOAC have a short half-life of about 12 h. Missing more than 5% of intakes is associated with a higher occurrence of thromboembolic events in OAC-treated AF patients.

Safety of Recanalization Therapy in Patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke Under Anticoagulation: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Intravenous thrombolysis treatment (IVT) and endovascular therapy (EVT) have been proved as fist-line beneficial option for eligible patients who have acute ischemic stroke (AIS) with major safety concern of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH). Unfortunately, the emergency management of patients with AIS taking vitamin K antagonists and with international normalized ratio higher than 1.7 or taking new oral anticoagulants (NOACs) represents a great challenge. We aim to comprehensively determine the safety of EVT in patients under prior-stroke anticoagulants and IVT in patients under NOAC use.

Acute Ischemic Stroke Outcome and Preceding Anticoagulation: Direct Oral Anticoagulants Versus Vitamin K Antagonists
Oral anticoagulation is recommended for primary and secondary prevention of cardioembolic acute ischemic stroke (AIS). In nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (AF), direct oral anticoagulants (DOAC) efficacy and safety have been largely proven and are recommended over vitamin K antagonists (VKA) by international guidelines.1-3 AIS in the setting of AF is more often disabling and leads to increased mortality compared with stroke in patients without AF.4

Racial Disparity in the Prescription of Anticoagulants and Risk of Stroke and Bleeding in Atrial Fibrillation Patients
Background: Oral anticoagulant (OAC) therapy is proven to be effective at reducing risk of stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). However, racial minorities with AF are less likely to be prescribed vitamin K anticoagulants (VKA). There is little information on the racial disparity in the prescription of the non-vitamin K oral anticoagulants (NOACs) and the associated risks of stroke and bleeding. Methods: We used data from the Northwestern Medicine Enterprise Data Warehouse – a joint initiative across 11 Northwestern Medicine affiliated healthcare centers within metropolitan Chicago, Illinois.

Non-vitamin K oral anticoagulants as first-line regimen for acute ischemic stroke with non-valvular atrial fibrillation
There are various patterns in determining the choice of the first-line antithrombotic agent for acute stroke with non-valvular atrial fibrillation. We investigated the efficacy and safety of non-vitamin K oral anticoagulants as first-line antithrombotics for patients with acute stroke and non-valvular atrial fibrillation.

Treatment Approaches to Lacunar Stroke
Lacunar strokes are appropriately named for their ability to cavitate and form ponds or “little lakes” (Latin: lacune -ae meaning pond or pit is a diminutive form of lacus meaning lake). They account for a substantial proportion of both symptomatic and asymptomatic ischemic strokes. In recent years, there have been several advances in the management of large vessel occlusions. New therapies such as non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants and left atrial appendage closure have recently been developed to improve stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation; however, the treatment of small vessel disease-related strokes ...

Vitamin K Antagonist–associated Intracerebral Hemorrhage: Lessons from a Devastating Disease in the Dawn of the New Oral Anticoagulants
Conclusions: VKA-associated ICH presents in a particularly vulnerable population and has a poor prognosis that may be reliably predicted by several clinicoradiologic features.

Malignant Left Atrial Appendage Morphology: Current Classification vs H-L System
In non-valvular atrial fibrillation (AF), more than 90% of thrombus formation occurs in the left atrial appendage (LAA).1-3 Current guidelines have established direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) as the treatment of choice in patients with AF and high risk of stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA), while vitamin K antagonists (VKA) can be considered in patients not suitable for DOACs.4,5 This strategy significantly reduces the risk of thromboembolism; however, there is a subset of patients that suffer recurrent embolic strokes despite appropriate anticoagulant therapy, known as malignant LAA.

Pharmacological Difference Between Platelet Aggregations in Cardioembolic Stroke Patients with Direct Oral Anticoagulants: A Pilot Study
Major hemorrhagic complication incidence in patients with arterial fibrillation (AF), and treated with direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs), is lower than in vitamin K antagonist-treated patients.1 –5 Additionally, among DOACs, the direct oral thrombin inhibitor (dabigatran) and direct oral factor Xa (FXa) inhibitors (apixaban and rivaroxaban) seem to affect the coagulation system differently, which could provide distinct clinical outcomes.6,7 The results from the US6 and Denmark8 cohort stu dies suggest there is a minute, but notable difference in major bleeding complication incidence between dabigatran and FXa inhibitors.
