The implications of antithrombotic agents on subdural hematoma evacuation: what does "reversal" truly entail?

Objective: The optimal perioperative management of antithrombotic therapy (ATT) in patients requiring urgent neurosurgical intervention for subdural hematoma (SDH) is poorly understood. The delicate equilibrium of effective hemostasis while preventing thrombosis is complex and relies on numerous factors such as indication for and type of ATT, medical comorbidities, and extent of neurological injury. This study aimed to analyze the impact of ATT and reversal strategies on surgical outcomes to highlight current challenges in the management of these high-risk patients.
