Management of blunt hepatic and splenic injuries (grade ≤ III) in patients receiving antithrombotic therapy.

CONCLUSIONS: Hemodynamically stable patients under AT with blunt hepatic or splenic injuries (grade ≤ III) and no signs of peritonitis, may be good candidates for NOM, despite their bleeding tendency. The type of AT does not seem to influence the final outcome. Reversal of AT should be stratified individually. KEY WORDS: Antithrombotic therapy, Hemodynamic stability, Non-operative management.
