Why the study?
Does aspirin withdrawal for 0-5 days normalize platelet reactivity and prevent bleeding in hypertensive patients undergoing dental extraction?
Does aspirin withdrawal for 0-5 days normalize platelet reactivity and prevent bleeding in hypertensive patients undergoing dental extraction?
Platelet reactivity normalizes 96 hours after aspirin withdrawal, suggesting that a shorter cessation period than the guideline-recommended 7-10 days may be safe for complex dental procedures.
Should not yet change aspirin cessation practice before dental procedures; leaves open randomized confirmation of bleeding and thrombotic outcomes.
