Uninterrupted Direct-acting Oral Anticoagulation in Patients Undergoing Transradial Percutaneous Coronary Procedures
Up to 20-30% of patients who are candidates for direct oral anticoagulation (DOAC) present with concomitant ischemic heart disease and often require coronary angiography with or without percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The decision whether to continue the DOAC throughout periprocedural period or interrupt DOAC before planned procedure represents a substantial challenge in daily clinical practice. The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety of uninterrupted direct-acting oral anticoagulation in patients undergoing trans-radial percutaneous coronary procedures.
• Patients under anticoagulation with DOAC and any indication for diagnostic or therapeutic trans-radial percutaneous coronary procedures. At least 25% of the population undergoing PCI will be included.
