| Core Tip |
The current position statements and guidelines from the major gastroenterology societies have provided endoscopists with an evidenced-based systematic approach to pre, peri and post-operative management of patients on anticoagulant and antiplatelet agents in the context of both low and high-risk endoscopic procedures. While there is sufficient evidence on the index bleeding risk in common endoscopic procedures in in the absence of anticoagulant and/or antiplatelet agents, the evidence surrounding bleeding risk while on anticoagulant and/or antiplatelet agents is variable among different publications and still evolving. In this review, we have summarised the available evidence, provided an overview, and described our recommended practical application of anticoagulant and antiplatelet management in common endoscopic procedures. Finally, we have compared our recommendations against the current guidelines from the major gastroenterology societies to assimilate a new working reference, and to highlight any knowledge gaps and directions for future research. |
