Stroke begets more stroke in patients with AF despite OAC. These results from COMBINE-AF further stress the need for adjunctive treatments in these patients. #LAAOS4 #ELAPSE #INTERCEPT ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/JA… PHRI.ca Population Health Research Institute 🇨🇦 McMaster Stroke Program #neurotwitter #stroke #CardioTwitter

🧵Thread on the ANNEXA trials for reversing DOAC-related bleeds 🩸 As #DOAC (FXa inhibitors) have increasingly replaced VKAs, let’s discuss the development and study of their reversal agent #andexanet alfa, a recombinant inactive FXa that sequesters FXa inhibitor molecules 1/

Possibly reassuring for low ASPECTS tandem patients. #EASITOC has no ASPECTS restrictions, though defacto very few low ASPECTS patients are being enrolled. More data needed.

When should clinicians renew OAC medication in pts with ICH and mechanical valves? Study in Neurology Journal suggests that holding AC for 7 days is safe, using heparin bridge linked with ICH expansion. Very interesting!

Finally in print are our results regarding the residual stroke risk in patients on OAC in COMBINE-AF With CHA2DS-Vasc scores, AF type and stroke history one can identify patients with a high risk of stroke despite treatment in an RCT setting. ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/JA…

COMBINE-AF data from 71,683 patients shows SEE is 1/10th as common as ischemic stroke but carries similar mortality risk and often requires intervention. NOACs are superior to warfarin in SEE prevention Samer Alsaid Robert Giugliano #ESCCongress
