Periprocedural antithrombotics dangerous for endovascular stroke treatment
Overview
Stroke treatment is very difficult. Antithrombotics are dangerous during stroke thrombectomy, according to a recent study published in the Lancet. Therefore giving Antithrombotics like IV aspirin and/or unfractionated heparin during endovascular stroke treatment does not seem to be a good idea reveals the MR CLEAN-MED trial.
Aspirin and unfractionated heparin are often used during endovascular stroke treatment to improve reperfusion and outcomes. However, the effects and risks of antithrombotics for this indication are unknown. They, therefore, aimed to assess the safety and efficacy of intravenous aspirin, unfractionated heparin, both, or neither started during endovascular treatment in patients with ischaemic stroke.
