Recommendations

As issued by the authors

  1. Procedures were classified into four tiers: no bleeding risk, low bleeding risk, high bleeding risk, and very high bleeding risk.

  2. A specific category was created for procedures carrying particular contextual risk (e.g., anatomical site, patient factors, or need for reversible anticoagulation).

  3. Procedures warranting delayed resumption of anticoagulation (≥72 hours) or use of short-acting/reversible anticoagulants are identified.
