Does tranexamic acid lead to changes in MRI-measures of brain tissue health in patients with spontaneous intracerebral haemorrhage? An MRI sub-study nested within the double-blind randomised controlled TICH-2 trial

Does tranexamic acid lead to changes in MRI-measures of brain tissue health in patients with spontaneous intracerebral haemorrhage? An MRI sub-study nested within the double-blind randomised controlled TICH-2 trial

Objectives: To test whether administration of the antifibrinolytic drug tranexamic acid (TXA) in patients with spontaneous intracerebral haemorrhage (SICH) leads to increased prevalence of diffusion-weighted MRI defined hyperintense ischaemic lesions (primary hypothesis) or reduced perihaematomal oe...
