Avoiding Anticoagulation After IntraCerebral Haemorrhage

NCT03243175

RandomizedParallel-groupSingle-blindPrevention

Summary

Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) demonstrate a substantial benefit from oral anticoagulant drugs for the prevention of stroke and systemic embolism in non-valvular atrial fibrillation (AF). However, these RCTs excluded patients with prior intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH). Therefore, guidelines are unable to recommend whether oral anticoagulant drugs, in particular non-vitamin K antagonist (called direct OAC) - can be used for patients with AF after an intracerebral haemorrhage. Roughly 30% of adults with ICH have AF but in 2017 it remains unclear whether they should start oral anticoagulant drugs, be treated with left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) or avoid anticoagulation and LAAC.
