Key result
Guideline-adherent factor Xa inhibitor cessation for up to 24 hours during dental procedures was associated with a low overall bleeding rate of 5.0% and no thromboembolic events.
Why the study?
Does factor Xa inhibitor cessation up to 24 hours minimize bleeding and thromboembolic risk in patients with atrial fibrillation undergoing dental procedures?
Does factor Xa inhibitor cessation up to 24 hours minimize bleeding and thromboembolic risk in patients with atrial fibrillation undergoing dental procedures?
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Guideline-adhered factor Xa inhibitor cessation for 12 to 24 hours during peri-dental procedures is safe, with low bleeding risk and no increased risk for thromboembolism.

Ki Hong Lee (2026) conducted an editorial in Atrial fibrillation (n=1,902). Standardized periprocedural factor Xa inhibitor cessation protocol was evaluated on Overall bleeding events in patients undergoing dental procedures. Guideline-adherent factor Xa inhibitor cessation for up to 24 hours during dental procedures was associated with a low overall bleeding rate of 5.0% and no thromboembolic events.
