SAfety and EFficacy of Bridging Antithrombotic Therapy During Elective Non-cardiac Surgery

Conditions
Coronary Artery Disease
Registration Number
NCT04675801
Lead Sponsor
Beijing Anzhen Hospital
Brief Summary

Patients with coronary artery disease, especially after PCI, require long-term oral antiplatelet therapy. However, this patient population may inevitably require non-cardiac surgery for a variety of conditions. In order to avoid the occurrence of bleeding events, oral antiplatelet agents are usually discontinued before non-cardiac surgery in patients with coronary artery disease, which may increase the incidence of ischemic events. Therefore, it is important to provide patients with the optimal perioperative antithrombotic treatment to balance the risk of bleeding and ischemia.
