However, despite the existence of guidelines and recommendations, decision-making difficultiescan still be encountered in the practice of interventional pain management. The presentation includes a summaryof existing recommendations for the prophylactic use of anticoagulants and antiaggregants in clinical practice inthe periprocedural period.
