Apixaban for Anticoagulation after Robotic Mitral Valve Repair
CONCLUSIONS: Anticoagulation with apixaban after minimally invasive robotic MVRep is safe and has similar rates of bleeding and thromboembolism compared to patients treated with warfarin.PMID:35973484 | DOI:10.1016/j.athoracsur.2022.07.045

The Impact of Preoperative Clopidogrel on Outcomes Following Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting.
CONCLUSIONS: CABG can be safely performed in patients with recent Clopidogrel exposure with no increased risk of early or late mortality. However, CABG should be delayed for at least 5 days if clinically feasible to minimize transfusions and reoperation risk. In patients with more urgent indications, delaying CABG at least 3 days can mitigate but not eliminate the increased bleeding risk. PMID: 31039353 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
