Endovascular Treatment for Acute Ischemic Stroke in the Setting of Anticoagulation
Stroke 46:3536-3539, Rebello, L.C.,et al, 2015
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Intra-arterial therapy seems to be safe in patients taking OACs; however, our study showed a nonsignificant increase in hemorrhage and mortality with a nonsignificant decrease in good outcomes in comparison with non-OAC patients. Although these nominal differences may have been related to older age and more comorbidities in the OAC group, larger studies are needed to confirm our findings given our limited sample size.
