Strategies for Antithrombotic Management During Non-cardiac Arterial Procedures: Results of the International ACTION Survey.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Peri-procedural antithrombotics are used extensively to prevent thromboembolic complications during non-cardiac arterial procedures (NCAP) worldwide. However, there is a lack of evidence to support recommendations on antithrombotic strategies, possibly leading to substantial variation in local practices. A comprehensive overview of antithrombotic strategies is needed to identify the most widely accepted protocols employed during NCAP, highlight variations in local practices, and identify new research targets to establish evidence based peri-procedural anticoagulation management.

Methods

An international, web based survey study was conducted from March to October 2023, targeting vascular clinical specialists who applied antithrombotic strategies during NCAP in daily
