There is equipoise about use or discontinuation of statin in patients who have had an intraparenchymal hemorrhage attributed cerebral amyloid angiopathy. A multicenter clinical trial is investigating this question (https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT03936361). I would base continuing vs discontinuing a statin on a patient's overall vascular risk, using clinical diagnoses and/or the ASCVD score to help guide your decision.
