Multiple experimental and review studies confirm that macrophages and microglia actively phagocytose and clear extravasated blood cells following internal bleeding events such as intracerebral hemorrhage.

Bexarotene Enhances Macrophage Erythrophagocytosis and Hematoma Clearance in Experimental Intracerebral Hemorrhage
2020 · cited by 86
Bexarotene treatment enhances macrophage erythrophagocytosis and hematoma clearance in experimental intracerebral hemorrhage models.

The analysis

The retrieved papers consistently demonstrate across multiple models (intracerebral hemorrhage, stroke, and cardiovascular pathologies) that macrophages and microglia perform erythrophagocytosis and efferocytosis to clear extravasated blood cells and hematomas. There are no papers refuting this well-established biological function.
