Purpose Of Review: As ambulatory surgery has become increasingly more common, the appropriate management of anticoagulation therapy in patients undergoing invasive procedures has become progressively more relevant to healthcare professionals. The purpose of this literature review is to provide an overview of current common anaticoagulants and their pharmacological properties and to evaluate recent relevant literature and bridging therapy and provide recommendations on risk-guided therapy.
Recent Findings: With the development of new drugs and the advancing study and practice of anticoagulation use, clinicians must keep up-to-date on the optimal management of patients requiring anticoagulation.
