Preoperative assessment of the patient’s medication history, particularly using anticoagulants such as aspirin and warfarin, is essential. Based on individual circumstances, it may be necessary to temporarily discontinue these medications, with careful planning regarding the timing of both cessation and ...
Complete and rapid reversal of warfarin-induced bleeding can be achieved more successfully with PCC than with FFP. In addition, PCC is associated with a more rapid normalisation of the INR and a better clinical outcome due to the balanced ratio of four vitamin-K-dependent clotting factors plus ...
anticoagulants (e.g. heparin or warfarin).By adopting a healthier lifestyle, patients can reduce their risk factors for stroke. Managing blood pressure through appropriate medications, such as ACEIs or ARBs, and using lipid-lowering drugs to manage cholesterol levels can also contribute to stroke ...
ConclusionsThe different blood pressure variables are all independently associated with increased risk of stroke in individuals with type 1 diabetes. The risk of stroke, ischemic stroke, and hemorrhagic stroke increases linearly at blood pressure levels less than the current recommended treatment guidelines...
warfarin reduces stroke risk by about two-thirds, but it is a difficult drug to manage. the medication, which is supposed to be taken for the rest of the patient's life, interacts with food and other drugs, necessitating frequent coagulation monitoring and dose adjustments. too high a dose ...
The DOACs do not require periodic blood tests, which are necessary with warfarin. They also may have a lower risk of bleeding. On the other hand, they are considerably more expensive, and because they are new there is less known about their possible long term side effects....
Other antiplatelet drugs should be considered in patients with contraindication to aspirin. Warfarin is not indicated. Extracranial-intracranial bypass surgery provides no benefit over medical therapy in preventing recurrent stroke in a general population of patients with ACAO or in any subgroups selected...

occlusion device. Currently two devices are widely used: the Watchman LAA system and the Amplatzer Cardiac Plug. Both devices have shown that all-cause stroke and all-cause mortality outcomes were not inferior to warfarin therapy (59,60). However, blood clots may still develop on these devices...
