Background: There is a lack of reports on the use of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) during colorectal endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD).
Aims: We aimed to assess whether the use of DOACs is associated with a higher incidence of delayed bleeding (DB) after ESD.
Methods: A total of 4175 colorectal neoplasms in 3515 patients were dissected at our hospitals during study period. We included 3909 lesions in the final analysis. The lesions were divided into two groups: the no-AT group (3668 neoplasms) and the DOAC group (241 neoplasms). We also compared the DOAC withdrawal group (154 neoplasms) and the DOAC continuation group (87 neoplasms).
Results: Among the 3909 lesions, DB occurred in a total of 90 cases (2.3%). The rate of DB was 2.2% (82/3668), and 3.3% (8/241), respectively. There were no significant differences in the rate of DB between the no-AT group and the DOAC group. In the DOAC group, there were no significant differences in the rate of DB between the withdrawal group (5.2%, 8/154) and the continuation group (0%, 0/87). The multivariable analysis identified the location of the lesion in the rectum (odds ratio [OR], 4.04; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.614-6.242; p < 0.001) and lesions ≥ 30 mm in diameter (OR, 4.14; 95% CI, 2.349-7.34; p < 0.001) as independent risk factors for DB.
Conclusions: Our findings suggest that DOAC use has no significant important on the rate of DB. Prospective studies are warranted to determine whether treatment with DOACs should be interrupted prior to colorectal ESD.

Background And Aims: We assessed clinical, procoagulant and genetic risk factors and clinical outcomes in dabigatran-treated patients with non-tumoural acute and acute-on-chronic portal vein thrombosis (PVT).
Methods: Patients with a new diagnosis of non-tumoural acute and acute-on-chronic PVT between January 2021 and January 2024 (aged ≥ 18 years) in those without/with cirrhosis (Child-Pugh (CP)-A/B/C ≤ 10) were started on dabigatran and followed and compared with those on vitamin K antagonist (VKA) and untreated individuals.
Results: Dabigatran was prescribed in 119 patients with PVT type 1 (61, 51.

Background: The management of thromboembolic risk and the necessity for timely hemorrhage control make anticoagulant-related gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding clinically challenging.
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate clinical outcomes (such as bleeding control and mortality) and the effectiveness of anticoagulation reversal techniques in patients with anticoagulant-related GI bleeding in emergency settings.
Methodology: This prospective, observational study conducted at Lady Reading Hospital, Peshawar, from January to December 2023, included patients aged 18 or older with GI bleeding on warfarin or direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs).

Background: Advances in secondary stroke prevention, including direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs), dual antiplatelet therapies (DAPT), and cardiovascular risk management, have changed costs over the past decade. This study aimed to evaluate annual treatment costs and trends in drug-based secondary prophylaxis after ischemic strokes.
Methods: Annual treatment costs were evaluated using the net costs per defined daily dosage (DDD) of discharge medications for ischemic stroke patients treated in 2020 at the University Hospital Frankfurt, Germany.

Introduction: Deep Vein Arterialization (DVA) is an innovative surgical technique aimed at enhancing blood flow in compromised limbs facing amputation. Maintenance of flow post-revascularization is crucial to limb salvage. As this is a new technique, no standardized thromboprophylaxis regime is currently established, and post-procedure thromboprophylaxis is at the discretion of the proceduralist.

Although direct oral anticoagulants (DOAC) have become widely used, little is known about the efficacy of DOAC for isolated distal deep vein thrombosis (DVT). In-hospitalized orthopedic patients with isolated distal DVT who were diagnosed from 2016 to 2018 were enrolled and were followed for 1 year. Embolic events included symptomatic pulmonary embolism (PE) and DVT extension above the knee.
