Research progress on the timing of drug restart after gastrointestinal bleeding caused by antithrombotic drugs
Antithrombotic drugs play an important role in the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular and cerebro-vascular diseases.However,it is restricted to use drugs for many conditions,because they can lead to gastrointestinal injury,even fatal gastrointestinal bleeding.After gastrointestinal bleeding occurs in patients treated with antithrombotic therapy,clinicians will appropriately stop using antithrombotic drugs and actively stop bleeding under the endoscopy or drugs.Although,patients who stop taking antithrombotic drugs will significantly increase the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events and death.Therefore,it is imperative to continue to take antithrombotic drugs to prevent cardio-vascular and cerebrovascular events.Nevertheless,the best time to restart antithrombotic drugs after gastrointestinal bleeding is still unclear.How to safely and effectively restart the use of antithrombotic drugs to maximize the benefit of patients from antithrombotic drugs has became an important clinical topic.This article reviewed the timing of reboot after antithrombotic gastrointestinal bleeding.
