Patients on anticoagulation therapy require surgery, posing a risk of thromboembolism or bleeding. Decisions on managing anticoagulation perioperatively must balance these risks for optimal patient outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Vascular Surgery
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • Patients on anticoagulation therapy, including aspirin or warfarin, frequently require surgery.
  • Indications for anticoagulation include atrial fibrillation, mechanical heart valves, and thromboembolic events.
  • Interruption of anticoagulation increases the risk of thromboembolism and stroke.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the challenges and considerations for managing patients on anticoagulation therapy who require surgery.
  • To emphasize the importance of balancing thromboembolic risk against bleeding risk in perioperative decision-making.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of anticoagulation management in surgical patients.
  • Analysis of risk factors for perioperative thromboembolism and bleeding.

Main Results:

  • Perioperative management decisions are patient-specific.
  • Balancing anticoagulation's benefits against surgical risks is crucial.

Conclusions:

  • Rational perioperative anticoagulation management requires careful assessment of individual patient factors.
  • The decision to continue, interrupt, or bridge anticoagulation must weigh the risk of stroke against the risk of surgical bleeding.
