Patients on blood thinners like clopidogrel (Plavix) need special precautions when they undergo any surgeries,including scopes and even tooth extraction
Issues to consider include:
1. Why is the blood thinner in the first place?
2. What is the halflife of the blood thinner?
3. Is it a necessity to do the surgery?
4. What risk does it have if the blood thinner is stopped?
