Management of Anticoagulation Therapy in ECMO-Associated Ischemic Stroke and Intracranial Hemorrhage.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Despite the common occurrence of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO)-associated acute ischemic stroke (AIS) and intracranial hemorrhage (ICH), there are little data to guide optimal anticoagulation management. We sought to describe antithrombotic therapy management after stroke and outcomes.

Methods

A retrospective analysis was conducted of venoarterial (VA) and venovenous (VV) ECMO patients treated at a tertiary care center from June 2016 to February 2021. Patients with image-confirmed diagnosis of AIS or ICH while receiving ECMO were included for study with data collected regarding anticoagulation management and clinical outcomes.

Results

Overall, 216 patients (153 VA-ECMO, 63 VV-ECMO) were included in this study. Of the 153 patients on VA-ECMO, 13
