Emergent Use of Anticoagulation for Treatment of Patients with Ischemic Stroke
Stroke 33:856-861, Adams,H.P., 2002
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
These results suggest that most patients with acute stroke should not be treated with unfractionated heparin or other rapidly acting anticoagulants after stroke. Prevention of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism among bedridden pati ents is the only established indication for early anticoagulation after acute ischemic stroke.
