Periprocedural management of patients on anticoagulants

Lance A Williams 3rd et al. Clin Lab Med. 2014 Sep.

Abstract

Every year, new studies are undertaken to address the complex issue of periprocedural management of patients on anticoagulants and antiplatelet medications. In addition, newer drugs add to the confusion among clinicians about how to best manage patients taking these agents. Using the most recent data, guidelines, and personal experience, this article discusses recommendations and presents simplified algorithms to assist clinicians in the periprocedural management of patients on anticoagulants.

Keywords: Anticoagulant; Antiplatelet; Atrial fibrillation; CHA(2)DS(2)-VASc; Periprocedural.
