Background & Aims: Few prospective studies have assessed the safety of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) in elective endoscopy. Our primary aim was to compare the risks of endoscopy-related gastrointestinal bleeding and thromboembolic events in patients on DOACs or vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) in this setting. Secondarily, we examined the impact of the timing of anticoagulant resumption on the risk of delayed bleeding in high-risk therapeutic procedures.

Article Synopsis
  • The study found that missed oesophageal cancer (MEC) occurs in 6.4% of diagnosed cases, highlighting a need for improved detection methods.
  • MEC is more likely to be smaller and less frequently metastasized at diagnosis compared to other types of oesophageal cancer (non-MEC).
  • The research indicates that the overall survival rates for MEC and non-MEC patients after two years are similar, emphasizing the need for better endoscopy practices to improve outcomes.
