🚨 New meta-analysis. 🩸🧠 In selected patients with AFib & .cerebral amyloid angiopathy / intracranial hemorrhage, 🫀LAAO may be a safe and feasible alternative to 💊anticoagulation. Excellent work @TheodorosMavri2 and team @IntJStroke!. #NeuroTwitter #Neurology #Neurosurgery
Excited to present our newly published study/meta-analysis on LAAO in patients with previous ICrH and/or CAA. Many thanks to my mentor @a_charidimou. Without his guidance this endeavor would not be possible. I also want to thank Dr Archontakis-Barakakis and Dr Chlorogiannis. .
