"Author’s Conclusions: “These results exclude all but a very modest increase in the risk of recurrent intracerebral haemorrhage with antiplatelet therapy for patients on antithrombotic therapy for the prevention of occlusive vascular disease when they developed intracerebral haemorrhage. The risk of recurrent intracerebral haemorrhage is probably too small to exceed the established benefits of antiplatelet therapy for secondary prevention.”
Clinical Take Home Point: The established benefits of antiplatelet therapy likely outweigh what may be a small or non-existent increased risk of recurrent bleeding following ICH; however, it is unclear when is the optimal time to restart therapy."
