ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs), such as apixaban, rivaroxaban, and dabigatran, are increasingly being used to provide prophylaxis and treatment for arterial and venous thromboembolism. Multiple procedural subspecialties have implemented guidelines detailing time frames for perioperative DOAC interruption; however, the impact of perioperative DOAC interruption in patients undergoing dermatologic surgery is currently unknown, and evidence-based guidelines are lacking.OBJECTIVE:
To assess the 30-day postoperative rate of thrombotic complications (ischemic stroke, transient ischemic attack, systemic embolism, deep vein thrombosis [DVT] and pulmonary embolism) in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (AF) or a history of DVT who underwent perioperative DOAC interruption during dermatologic surgery.METHODS:
A retrospective medical record review was performed of all patients with AF or a history of DVT who underwent perioperative DOAC interruption during dermatologic surgery at Advanced Dermatologic Surgery and the University of Kansas Medical Center between January 1, 2016, and August 31, 2020.RESULTS:
Among 806 operations, comprising 750 Mohs micrographic operations (93.1%) and 56 excisions (6.9%), 1 patient (0.14% of patients with AF) sustained a transient ischemic attack and 2 patients (0.25% of all patients) sustained minor bleeding complications during the 30-day postoperative period.CONCLUSION:
Perioperative DOAC interruption appears to be safe and efficacious in dermatologic surgery.Palabras clave
