Retrospective Study Supports that Pharmacologic Venous Thromboembolism Prophylaxis After Intracerebral Hemorrhage is Safe, Underused

There were no significant differences in VTE events and hemorrhage expansion for spontaneous ICH patients who had pharmacologic with or without mechanical prophylaxis or mechanical only, consistent with previous literature. For patients who received pharmacologic prophylaxis after stabilization, none had hemorrhage expansion; our data support the 2022 guidelines that it is safe to administer pharmacologic prophylaxis after hemorrhage stabilization.
