Per-procedural Concentrations of Oral Anticoagulants Clinical Trial
Background: Peri-procedural management of direct oral anticoagulants (DOAC) is challenging.
The optimal duration of pre-procedural discontinuation that guarantees a minimal DOAC
concentration ([DOAC]) at surgery is unknown. The usual 48-hour discontinuation might not be
sufficient for all patients.
Objectives: To investigate the factors associated with per-procedural [DOAC]. To test the
hypothesis that a 48-hour DOAC discontinuation is not sufficient to ensure a minimal
perprocedural [DOAC], defined as [DOAC] < 30 ng/mL.
Methods: Patients treated with DOAC, and requiring any invasive procedure will be included
in this multicentre, prospective, observational study. [DOAC], will be measured during
invasive procedure.
