Does uninterrupted oral anticoagulant therapy increase postoperative bleeding risk in patients undergoing minor dental surgery compared to non-OAT patients?
Does uninterrupted oral anticoagulant therapy increase postoperative bleeding risk in patients undergoing minor dental surgery compared to non-OAT patients?
Uninterrupted oral anticoagulation therapy is associated with a significantly higher risk of postoperative bleeding following minor dental surgery compared to non-anticoagulated patients, though NOACs may be safer than vitamin K antagonists.
