Algorithmic anticoagulation: streamlining the decision to hold and restart blood thinners in the periendoscopy period
The number and complexity of procedures performed by gastroenterologists are increasing in the United States.1,2 In addition, the number and complexity of antithrombotic agents are growing.3 These concurrent trends may lead to confusion among providers on the  appropriate management of these drugs during endoscopy. The skilled clinician must balance the risks of thrombosis, including myocardial infarction and stroke, against the risks of procedure-related hemorrhage, which can be potentially fatal.

DOACs have been shown to be associated with an increased frequency of gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB) compared to warfarin, but the severity of GIB in these patients is poorly understood.
