ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Perioperative management of antiplatelet and anticoagulant (AP/AC) therapy is a matter of balancing the risks of bleeding and thromboembolic events. Reliable data for dermatosurgery are still lacking, especially for direct oral anticoagulants (DOAC).OBJECTIVES:
The aim was to prospectively evaluate the influence of AP/AC-medication on bleeding risk in dermatosurgery with focus on exact intervals between DOAC intake and procedure performed on post-operative bleeding.METHODS:
Patients with or without AP/AC-therapy were included in the study without randomization. Exact times of DOAC-intake, procedure performed and post-operative bleeding were documented. Data collection was prospectively and standardized done by one person.RESULTS:
We evaluated 1852 procedures in 675 patients. Post-operative bleeding occurred after 15.93% (n = 295) of all procedures, but only a few of them were severe (1.57%, n = 29). Compared to patients without AP/AC-medication, severe post-operative bleeding occurred significantly more often under dual antiplatelet therapy (11.76%, n = 2; p = 0.0166) and bridging of either vitamin K antagonist (9.09%, n = 2; p = 0.0270) or DOAC (15.38%, n = 2; p = 0.0099). There was no significant difference in the frequency of severe bleeding regarding to the preoperative DOAC-free period.CONCLUSIONS:
Although AP/AC-therapy is associated with a significant higher rate of post-operative bleeding, no life-threatening bleeding was recorded. Long preoperative pausing or bridging of DOAC does not lead to significantly less severe bleeding events.
