Population

Patients receiving warfarin, aspirin, clopidogrel, or combinations of these drugs who require interruption because of an elective surgical or other invasive procedure

Intervention

Perioperative anticoagulant and antiplatelet management, including risk stratification for thromboembolism and bleeding, and bridging anticoagulation (typically with low-molecular-weight heparin)

Provides an evidence-based, practical approach for the perioperative management of patients on anticoagulant or antiplatelet therapy to minimize thromboembolic and bleeding risks.
