What would occur if you experienced a carotid artery dissection while on eliquis?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

A garden variety carotid artery dissection tends to cause early on, cerebral ischemia, and an eventual full-blown stroke may occur. The presence of anti-coagulation might prevent some of the localized thrombosis and mitigate the immediate damage potential but might result in hemorrhage in the area of cerebral infarction. So, an unpredictable two-edged sword?
