Antiplatelet Use Prior to Anticoagulant Initiation in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation-Related Ischemic Stroke: An ELAN Trial Analysis

Antiplatelet Use Prior to Anticoagulant Initiation in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation-Related Ischemic Stroke: An ELAN Trial Analysis

Background and Purpose Antiplatelets are often used before direct oral anticoagulant (DOACs) initiation after an acute ischemic stroke related to atrial fibrillation (AF), but the evidence is weak. Here, we explored the risks and benefits of this approach. Methods A post-hoc analysis of ELAN (Early...
