Program Overview
This CME program is derived from content presented at the 8th European Stroke Organization Conference (ESOC 2022). This educational activity, chaired by Dr. Thorsten Steiner, will review optimal management strategies of patients with anti-FXa-DOAC-associate Intracranial Hemorrhage (ICH). The worldwide utilization of DOACs for a number of different indications has continuously increased over the past decade, and while the anti-FXa DOACS are associated with a significantly lower risk of ICH than warfarin, the risk remains ~0.05% in clinical trials and up to 2% in some real-world data sets. There is a pressing need for a consistent and streamlined response to these sometimes-devastating bleeding events. Join our expert faculty in a case-based discussion of management of anti-FXa-associated ICH and the evidence basis for specific vs nonspecific anticoagulation reversal strategies.
