Prevention and treatment of venous thromboembolism in patients with intracranial hemorrhage / 国际脑血管病杂志

ABSTRACT

Venous thromboembolism,including deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism,is one of the common complications after stroke,and it also significantly increases the mortality in patients with stroke.Because of limb paralysis,prolonged bed rest,and specific hypercoagulable state,the patients with stroke become the high risk population of thrombosis.The preventive measures manly including physical and drug prevention.Clinical studies have confirmed that anticoagulation therapy for the prevention of venous thromboembolism is effective in patients with ischemic stroke.However,for patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage,whether anticoagulant drugs can be used and how to use them have not yet reached consensus,mainly on account of the risks of rebleeding or hematora enlargement.This article reviews the related literatures in recent years and summarizes the advances in research on the prevention and treatment of venous thrombosis in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage.
