Management of patients with stroke treated with direct oral anticoagulants

D J Seiffge et al. J Neurol. 2018 Dec.

Abstract

Since their market approval, direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) are being increasingly used for stroke prevention in patients with atrial fibrillation. However, the management of DOAC-treated patients with stroke poses several challenges for physicians in everyday clinical practice, both in the acute setting and in long-term care. This has spurred extensive research activity in the field over the past few years, which we review here.

Keywords: Atrial fibrillation; DOAC; Stroke.
