Large international study supports new treatment for rare type of strokeThe DOAC-CVT study, a large international cohort study led by Amsterdam UMC, focuses on the treatment of cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) using direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs). Last week, the results were revealed during a plenary session at the World Stroke Conference in Abu Dhabi.

Researcher Jonathan Coutinho tells us more.
