[HT-09-4] Subclassification of ESUS according to the responsiveness to anticoagulation
Two clinical trials to compare direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) and aspirin did not show superiority of DOACs over aspirin in patients with embolic stroke of undertermined source (ESUS). It is argued on the reasons for the negative results that covert atrial fibrilltion may not be a major cause and arteriogenic embolism may be prevalent than ever thought. In this symposium, we analyze the factors affecting the results, reconsider the the currrent concept of EUS, and perspect future direction of antithrombotic therapy.
