Procedure Risks
There is an intrinsic risk of hemorrhage associated with endoscopic procedures. Hemorrhage may be immediately apparent at the time of endoscopy or may be delayed for up to 2 weeks following the procedure.
In general, a patient undergoing a procedure associated with low risk of bleeding (low-risk procedure) can (and should) safely continue antithrombotic therapy, particularly if the patient is at high risk for a thromboembolic event (high-risk patient).1 Conversely, a patient undergoing a high-risk procedure can temporarily discontinue antithrombotic agents safely if the patient is at low risk for a thromboembolic event (low-risk patient).1 The decision-making process is challenging when patients at moderate-to-high risk for thromboembolic events undergo high-risk procedures. Management also differs between elective and emergency procedures.1 Elective endoscopic procedures should be deferred until short-term anticoagulation therapy is completed.
Common endoscopic procedures vary in their potential to induce bleeding (
Assessment of Thrombotic Risk
The probability of a thromboembolic event related to the temporary interruption of antithrombotic therapy for an endoscopic procedure depends on the indication for antithrombotic therapy and individual patient characteristics (
Antiplatelet Agents Management
While the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE) recommends continuation of low-dose aspirin and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs in the periendoscopic period,11 the European Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE) recommends continuing aspirin for all endoscopic procedures, with the exception of endoscopic submucosal dissection, large colonic endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) (>2 cm), upper GI EMR, and ampullectomy (

Device-assisted enteroscopy without polypectomy | Endoscopic hemostasis |
Capsule endoscopy | Ampullectomy |
Enteral stent deploymenta (controversial) | EMR or ESD |
EUS without FNA | Endoscopic dilatation of strictures |
Argon plasma coagulation | Endoscopic therapy of varices |

aEnteral stent deployment risk is controversial for American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE), low risk for Japanese guidelines, and high risk for European Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE). | |
bPEG on aspirin or clopidogrel therapy is low risk for ASGE, but high risk for ESGE and Japanese guidelines; does not apply to dual antiplatelet therapy. | |
cEUS-FNA of solid masses on acetylsalicylic acid/nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs is low risk. |
