Management of Intracranial Bleeding Associated with Anticoagulation: Balancing the Risk of Further Bleeding Against Thromboembolism From Prosthetic Heart Valves JNNP 69:396-398, Crawley,F. et al, 2000 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract Mechanical heart valves are associated with a risk of thromboembolism and anticoagulation is generally recommended. However, this is inevitably associated with a risk of intracranial bleeding. The case of a patient who sustained an intracranial bleed while taking warfarin for a prosthetic aortic valve and a further tow intracranial bleeds while on heparin as an inpatient is discussed and the literature on the management of intracranial haemorrhage in patients on warfarin with prosthetic valves is reviewed.
