Restarting anticoagulation after intracranial hemorrhage: A risky decision with no recipe

Restarting anticoagulation after intracranial hemorrhage: A risky decision with no recipe

Neurology current issue

The decision to restart anticoagulation after an intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) always poses a challenge. It is a complex problem that we are encountering with increasing frequency because of the growing use of anticoagulants in an aging population. Many factors must be considered when making the decision and current guidelines provide little guidance on how to make it.¹ Few studies address this topic and they only provide low levels of evidence.
