Interaction of incidental microbleeds and prior use of antithrombotics with early hemorrhagic transformation: Causative or protective?

Interaction of incidental microbleeds and prior use of antithrombotics with early hemorrhagic transformation: Causative or protective?

Background: Gradient echo (GRE) sequence of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a sensitive tool to detect hemorrhagic transformation (HT) and old cerebral microbleeds (CMBs). Presence of CMBs and prior use of antithrombotics pose a risk of HT in ischemic stroke. We evaluated the association of CMBs...
