Aspirin dilemma: brain surgery bleeding risk under the microscope
NCT ID NCT07086183
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study observes 100 patients having elective brain surgery to clip an aneurysm. Some take daily low-dose aspirin, others do not. Researchers track bleeding during surgery and on CT scans afterward to understand the risks. The goal is to help doctors decide whether to stop or continue aspirin before such surgeries.
