How long after surgery can you start anticoagulation?
Restarting warfarin and postoperative bridging – We resume warfarin 12 to 24 hours after surgery, typically the evening of the day of surgery or the evening of the day after surgery, assuming there were no unexpected surgical issues that would increase bleeding risk and the patient is taking adequate oral fluids [8].
How long should Xarelto be stopped before surgery?
Stop XARELTO® at least 24 hours before the procedure. In deciding whether a procedure should be delayed until 24 hours after the last dose of XARELTO®, the increased risk of bleeding should be weighed against the urgency of intervention.
How soon can you start enoxaparin after surgery?
Timing of enoxaparin administration For surgical in-patients with a significant reduction in mobility, enoxaparin should be prescribed at 6pm the night before surgery, otherwise it should be started after surgery at the later of: 4 hours post-operatively or 6pm.
How long do I need blood thinning injections after surgery?

Xarelto (rivaroxiban), Eliquis (apixaban), and Savaysa (edoxaban) inhibit blood clotting factor Xa. They can be stopped 2-3 days before major surgery and held one day before minor surgery. These can be resumed the day after surgery if there is no bleeding.
How long before an operation should I stop taking blood thinners?
Warfarin and acenocoumarol are usually stopped five days before surgery or a procedure. You may require substitute injectable anticoagulation whilst not taking warfarin or acenocoumarol. An individualised plan will be written for you before your surgery or procedure so you have clear instructions of what to do.
When do you hold anticoagulation for procedures?
High bleed risk – For high bleeding risk surgery, omit the DOAC two days before and resume two days (approximately 48 hours) after the procedure, provided hemostasis is secure. The total duration of interruption is four days. Waiting an additional one day before resumption may be appropriate in some cases.
When should I restart anticoagulation post op?
