The article demonstrates a clinical case of forced renewal of anticoagulant therapy after the endovascular closure of the left atrial appendage. Patient with atrial fibrillation and high risk of thromboembolic complications and bleeding on the background of warfarin administration and inappropriate INR values had an acute hemorrhagic cerebral blood flow disorder developed.
