Introduction
Patients receiving long term antithrombotic therapy who require surgery, or an invasive procedure present a difficult therapeutic dilemma for clinicians. In this periprocedural interval when antithrombotic therapy is halted, periprocedural anticoagulation (bridging therapy) with a heparin product may be recommended for some patients.1,2 There is new evidence to support the use of bridging therapy in a small group of high-risk patients which has been outlined in this guideline. Studies have shown an increase in bleeding events when bridging therapy with a heparin agent was used both before and after procedures, with no difference in the incidence of thromboembolic events, compared to patients who did not receive bridging therapy around the time of procedures.3,4
Scope
Intended User(s): • Physicians • Advanced Practice Providers • Pharmacists • Nurses
Objective(s):
• To provide guidance on holding, bridging and resuming antithrombotic therapy for planned procedures
Target Population: Inpatient and ambulatory adult patients who have indication(s) for antithrombotic medications and require antithrombotic therapy held for a planned surgical procedure Clinical Questions Considered:
• What patient population requires bridging of antithrombotic therapy for procedures? • When should antithrombotic therapy be resumed post procedure?
Definitions
1. Periprocedural or Bridging Anticoagulation – administration of a short acting anticoagulant
during the interruption of long-term antithrombotic therapy for major/minor surgery or procedures. Usually administered for a 10 to 12-day period.1
2. Periprocedural – the period of time prior to, during and following an invasive procedure
3. Antithrombotic therapy – includes any anticoagulant or antiplatelet medication
Recommendations
Periprocedural Antithrombotic Management 1. Weigh the consequences of short-term risk for thromboembolism and bleeding for the
individual patient.1 1.1. Very few patients will need periprocedural anticoagulation or bridging therapy3,4
(UW Health GRADE moderate quality evidence, strong recommendation).

1.2. Overall risk stratification should focus on the patient's risk of thromboembolism since the consequences of a thromboembolic event are more likely to have serious, lasting effects than compared to consequences of major bleeding.1,2 (UW Health low quality evidence, weak/conditional recommendation)
1.3. Use Table 1 to evaluate the bleeding risk of procedure or surgery1 (UW Health GRADE moderate quality evidence, weak/conditional recommendation)
1.4. Use Table 2 to identify patients at risk for systemic embolism if antithrombotic agent is discontinued1-4 (UW Health GRADE moderate quality evidence, strong recommendation) 1.4.1. It is recommended to use periprocedural (bridge) therapy for patients identified in
Table 2.1-4 (UW Health GRADE moderate quality evidence, strong recommendation)
1.5. Endoscopic procedures 1.5.1. For low thromboembolic risk patients: hold warfarin and proceed with endoscopic
procedure when the INR < 1.5 and for other anticoagulants see specific recommendations in Tables 4-8.1,5,6 (UW Health low quality evidence, weak/conditional recommendation)
1.5.2. For high thromboembolic risk patients: see Table 3. Hold anticoagulation based on specific recommendations for each drug listed in Tables 4-8.1,5,6 (UW Health low quality evidence, weak/conditional recommendation)

2.3. Check INR within 24 hours of surgical procedure to ensure that INR goal has been attained.1 (UW Health low quality evidence, strong recommendation)
2.4. If timing does not allow for gradual reduction of INR from withholding warfarin alone, administration of phytonadione (vitamin K), fresh frozen plasma, or prothrombin complex concentrates may be necessary. (UW Health moderate quality evidence, strong recommendation)
2.5. Appendix A is an example of a bridging plan for warfarin
Table 4 Periprocedural planning for warfarin1,7,8,9 (UW Health low quality evidence, weak/conditional recommendation)
Drug Pre-procedure INR
Pre-Procedure Plan Post Procedure Plan
Warfarin 2.0 – 3.0 Stop 5 days before procedure
Start within 24 hours if approved by proceduralist
3.0 – 4.5 Stop 6 days before procedure
> 4.5 Stop 6-7 days before procedure Consider rechecking INR after 2-3 days of held doses If indicated, consider phytonadione
3. Direct Oral Anticoagulants (DOACs)1,2,10,11,12,13 – Listed Alphabetically 3.1 Pre-operative parenteral anticoagulation (bridging) is not needed. 3.2 Evaluate renal function at least 7 days before surgery to allow for planning of
perioperative management. (UW Health low quality evidence, weak/conditional recommendation)
3.3 DOACs may be continued during procedures where bleeding risk is low: 3.3.1 Low risk interventional radiology procedures (UW Health low quality
evidence, weak/conditional recommendation) 3.4 If timing does not allow for reversal of anticoagulant effect from withholding doses
alone, administration of procoagulant agents may be necessary. (UW Health low quality evidence, weak/conditional recommendation)
3.5 Tables 5 and 6 provide recommendations for periprocedural management. The PAUSE study was a prospective, cohort study evaluating the safety of a standardized perioperative DOAC strategy in AF patients. The standardized approach omitted DOACs 1 day prior to a low-bleeding risk procedure and 2 days prior to a high-bleeding risk procedure. DOACs were resumed 1 day after a low-bleeding risk procedure and 2 days after a high-bleeding risk procedure. Major bleeding and arterial thromboembolism were tracked for 30 days post procedure. Overall, major bleeding 30-day post-procedure for all was 1.35% for apixaban, 0.9% for dabigatran and 1.85% for rivaroxaban. Arterial thromboembolism was 0.16% for apixaban, 0.6% for dabigatran and 0.4% for rivaroxaban. There were 33.5% of patients with a high-bleed risk procedure, Major bleeding rates were 3% for apixaban and 3% for rivaroxaban. The PAUSE trial offers a standardized approach to periprocedural planning for DOACs.14

Disclaimer Clinical practice guidelines assist clinicians by providing a framework for the evaluation and treatment of patients. This guideline outlines the preferred approach for most patients. It is not intended to replace a clinician’s judgment or to establish a protocol for all patients. It is understood that some patients will not fit the clinical condition contemplated by a guideline and that a guideline will rarely establish the only appropriate approach to a problem.
Methodology
Development Process Each guideline is reviewed and updated a minimum of every 3 years. All guidelines are developed using the guiding principles, standard processes, and styling outlined in the UW Health Clinical Practice Guideline Resource Guide. This includes expectations for workgroup composition and recruitment strategies, disclosure and management of conflict of interest for participating workgroup members, literature review techniques, evidence grading resources, required approval bodies, and suggestions for communication and implementation. Methods Used to Collect the Evidence: The following criteria were used by the guideline author(s) and workgroup members to conduct electronic database searches in the collection of evidence for review. Literature Sources:
• Electronic database search (e.g., PubMed) • Hand-searching journals, external guidelines, and conference publications
Time Period: 2000 to 2019 Search Terms:
• Term 1: Periprocedural AND anticoagulant • Term 2: Periprocedural AND antiplatelet
Methods to Select the Evidence: Original research, meta-analysis, reviews and guidance papers were included in the review. Findings and recommendations derived from the included articles were discussed with guideline authors when developing recommendations. Methods Used to Formulate the Recommendations: The workgroup members agreed to adopt recommendations developed by external organizations and/or created recommendations internally via a consensus process using discussion of the literature and expert experience/opinion. If issues or controversies arose where consensus could not be reached, the topic was escalated appropriately per the guiding principles outlined in the UW Health Clinical Practice Guideline Resource Guide. Methods Used to Assess the Quality of the Evidence/Strength of the Recommendations: Recommendations developed by external organizations maintained the evidence grade assigned within the original source document and were adopted for use at UW Health. Internally developed recommendations, or those adopted from external sources without an assigned evidence grade, were evaluated by the guideline workgroup using an algorithm adapted from the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) methodology (see Figure 1).

Figure 1. GRADE Methodology adapted by UW Health
Rating Scheme for the Strength of the Evidence/Recommendations: GRADE Ranking of Evidence
High We are confident that the effect in the study reflects the actual effect.
Moderate We are quite confident that the effect in the study is close to the true effect, but it is also possible it is substantially different.
Low The true effect may differ significantly from the estimate.
Very Low The true effect is likely to be substantially different from the estimated effect. GRADE Ratings for Recommendations For or Against Practice
Strong (S) Generally should be performed (i.e., the net benefit of the treatment is clear, patient values and circumstances are unlikely to affect the decision.)
Conditional (C) May be reasonable to perform (i.e., may be conditional upon patient values and preferences, the resources available, or the setting in which the intervention will be implemented.)
Recognition of Potential Health Care Disparities: use of the guideline is not expected to result in health care disparities.
