The management of anticoagulation before and after procedures
Abstract
Patients maintained on warfarin for atrial fibrillation, mechanical heart valves, or deep venous thrombosis may occasionally need to stop their anticoagulation during invasive procedures. This article reviews the literature on bleeding risks of certain procedures, thrombosis risks of stopping anticoagulation, and heparin and warfarin pharmacokinetics. Recommendations regarding how to manage anticoagulated patients are discussed.
