Anticoagulation after Spontaneous Intraparenchymal Hemorrhage in Patients with Mechanical Heart Valves and Concomitant Atrial Fibrillation
Aim Patients with mechanical heart valves and coexisting atrial fibrillation (AFib-MHV) who suffer an intraparenchymal hemorrhage (IPH, defined as bleeding solely within the brain parenchyma and/or ventricle) are at a high risk of thromboembolism without anticoagulation. Data are lacking regarding t...
