“…In the past, only a few reports have been published dealing with anticoagulant therapy in IE [8,9,10,11]. Current guidelines concerning anticoagulant therapy in patients with IE due to S. aureus are therefore largely based on a limited number of mostly retrospective studies and expert opinion.…”

“…Infective endocarditis patients were divided on the basis of presence or absence of anticoagulation at admission, rather than using the proxy measure of prosthetic valves 3. These more recent studies not only show a low overall rate of intracerebral hemorrhage (2%), but also no increase in hemorrhage rates with anticoagulation (warfarin) therapy.…”

“…Aún es más, está contraindicada en el tratamiento de la EI sobre válvula nativa, ya que aumenta el riesgo de hemorragia cerebral (39)(40)(41). En endocarditis sobre válvula nativa, sólo se anticoagulará sí existe una indicación para ello, pero independiente de la endocarditis.…”

“…En la EI sobre válvula protésica se puede mantener la anticoagulación, aunque es preferible realizarla con heparina mientras el paciente esté inestable, al menos la primera semana de tratamiento antibiótico, ya que el riesgo de embolismo decrece después de forma importante (40,42). En el caso de que se produzca un embolismo cerebral con hemorragia o se diagnostique un aneurisma micótico, está indicado suspenderla hasta que la complicación se haya resuelto (40,43).…”
