Su1535 HEPARIN BRIDGING THERAPY IS ASSOCIATED WITH DELAYED BLEEDING AFTER ENDOSCOPIC TREATMENT FOR COMMON BILE DUCT STONE IN PATIENTS TREATED WITH ORAL ANTITHROMBOTIC THERAPY

Endoscopic treatment for common bile duct (CBD) stone using endoscopic sphincterotomy (EST) or endoscopic papillary large balloon dilation (EPLBD) is an established therapeutic procedure during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP); however, all these pose a high risk for hemorrhage. Recently, antithrombotic agents, including antiplatelet agents and anticoagulants, have been widely used to reduce the risk of thromboembolic events in patients with certain cardiovascular conditions, cerebrovascular disease, and deep venous thrombosis.
