Abstract

Diagnostic bronchoscopy for obtaining tissue samples is a commonly performed procedure and is an extremely useful diagnostic tool for malignant and benign conditions. A significant proportion of patients who undergo these procedures are anticoagulated for conditions including atrial fibrillation, pulmonary embolism, and deep-vein thrombosis. With new classes of oral anticoagulants being prescribed more frequently, it is important that bronchoscopists are comfortable in the management of direct oral anticoagulants in the perioperative period.
