Abstract
Background
This review article discussed the use of bridging therapy with low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) in patients who undergo noncardiac surgery (NCS) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
Hypotheses
Patients who undergo PCI are at an increased risk of thrombotic events due to their underlying cardiovascular disease. However, many of these patients may require NCS at some point in their lives, which poses a significant challenge for clinicians as they balance the risk of thrombotic events against the risk of bleeding associated with antithrombotic therapy.
Results
This review evaluates the current evidence on the use of bridging therapy with LMWH in patients undergoing NCS after PCI, focusing on outcomes related to the efficacy and safety of antithrombotic therapy. The article also discusses the limitations of the current evidence and highlights areas where further research is needed to optimize the management of antithrombotic therapy in this patient population.
Conclusion
The goal of this review was to provide clinicians with a comprehensive summary of the available evidence to guide clinical decision-making and improve patient outcomes.
