In the phase 3 OCEANIC-STROKE trial involving patients with noncardioembolic ischemic stroke or high-risk TIA, asundexian added to antiplatelet therapy led to a lower risk of ischemic stroke without increasing major bleeding. Full trial results: https://t.co/UPJGedYXFe

Patients with ischemic stroke & cancer didn't benefit when prescribed anticoagulants. Further research is needed to provide guidance on whether blood thinners should be given to stop cancer-associated stroke, per lead author @PargolBalali. @NeurologyToday https://t.co/7YYs0XeyCS

CREST-2: In high-grade asymptomatic carotid stenosis, addition of stenting to medical therapy led to a lower risk of stroke over a 4-year period. Endarterectomy did not lead to a significant benefit. Full results: https://t.co/ojge1CjqiU

3 trials on AF with surprising results from the sessions:
1- DECAF: Caffeine consumption reduced the risk of AF post cardioversion
2- OCEAN: Rivaroxaban 15 mg not superior to aspirin in AF patients post ablation
3- CLOSURE-AF: Medical tx better than LAAO in high bleeding risk AF

📢 Check out our new paper in @GreenJournal!
Among ~86K patients with #Stroke, 10% had active #Cancer.
Only ~15% received anticoagulation.
Over 6 mo:
🧠🫀Thromboembolism IR=38.4 (AC vs no AC: HR 1.21, 95% CI 0.91–1.61)
🩸 Bleeding IR=20.9
