ABSTRACT
Although non-vitamin K-antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOACs) reduce major bleeding events in patients with atrial fibrillation more effectively than does warfarin, a significant bleeding risk remains. Patients exhibiting current bleeding and those who are expected to bleed require appropriate management, because NOAC discontinuation may increase the thromboembolic risk. This article details general management principles for patients experiencing current bleeding and those undergoing invasive surgery while on NOACs.
