PAUSE

The Perioperative Anticoagulant Use for Surgery Evaluation (PAUSE) study is the largest to date that addresses how to manage patients with atrial fibrillation who are receiving perioperative direct oral anticoagulants. Here, James Douketis, MD, of McMaster University, Hamilton, ON, Canada, presents the results of the study at the American Society of Hematology (ASH) 2018 Annual Meeting and Exposition in San Diego, CA, which have the potential to be practice-changing.
