====== Anticoagulation Resumption after intracerebral hemorrhage ======

A multidisciplinary panel by a stroke physician or neurologist, a cardiologist, a neuroradiologist and a neurosurgeon should evaluate the benefits and the risks for each patient and decide the best therapeutic strategy

[[Oral anticoagulant]] (OAC) cessation exposes patients to a significantly higher risk of [[thromboembolism]], which could be reduced by resumption. The optimal timing of [[anticoagulation resumption]] after ICH is still unknown. Both early (< 2 weeks) and late (> 4 weeks) resumption should be reached only after very careful assessment of risks for ICH recurrence and [[thromboembolism]]. The introduction of new oral anticoagulants and other interventions, such as left atrial appendage closure, has provided some patients with more alternatives. Given the lack of high-quality evidence to guide clinical decision-making, clinicians must carefully balance the risks of thromboembolism and recurrent ICH in individual patients. 

Li and Lip proposed a management approach which would facilitate the decision-making process on whether anticoagulation is appropriate, as well as when and how to restart anticoagulation after ICH
