description | Background and Importance: Since Trousseau’s initial publication, the development of thromboembolic events related to malignancy has been well established. The pathophysiology of this is understood to be through activation of the coagulation cascade through neoplastic cells themselves or the therapy initiated (chemotherapy or surgery). To date, there have been a variety of studies, such as the OASIS-CANCER trial, which highlight the relationship of hypercoagulability to ischemic stroke. Despite these efforts, clear evidence is lacking for the utilization of antiplatelet or anticoagulation therapy in the secondary prevention of stroke following mechanical thrombectomy in patients with suspected or confirmed malignancy. Clinical Presentation: A 71-year-old female with a history of immune thrombocytopenia, diabetes mellitus, and hypertension who was undergoing an evaluation for a lung nodule, later determined to be adenocarcinoma of the lung, underwent three successful mechanical thrombectomies for acute ischemic stroke with large vessel occlusion over a one month period. This patient had improved National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) scores following each of her thrombectomies. However, her history of immune thrombocytopenia and underlying malignancy complicated her discharge medication regimen following each of her thrombectomies and may have contributed to her repeat strokes. Conclusion: Clear guidance is lacking regarding the utilization of antiplatelet and anticoagulation therapy in patients with suspected or confirmed malignancy following mechanical thrombectomy. Review of the literature suggests that controlling a patient’s hypercoagulability may lead to improved clinical outcomes, but further clinical trials are warranted. |
