Active Comparator: Continuing aspirin
Patients in the group may continue the administration of aspirin during perioperative period.
|
Drug: Continuing aspirin
Subject assigned to control arm will maintain antiplatelet therapy using aspirin only at least 7 days before surgery. If subject is taking one or more antiplatelet drugs, it should be changed (for subjects taking antiplatelet drug except aspirin at enrollment) or continued (for subject taking aspirin at enrollment) with low-dose, aspirin monotherapy before surgery. Cessation of clopidogrel, ticagrelor, and prasugrel should be started at least 5 days, 3 days and 7 days before surgery, respectively. Administration of aspirin will be started at the day of cessation of previous antiplatelet regimen and maintained until third postoperative day with 100 mg once a day. |
Experimental: Stopping aspirin
Patients in the group may stop medication of antiplatelet drugs during perioperative period.
|
Drug: Stopping aspirin
Subject assigned to comparison arm will stop antiplatelet therapy before scheduled surgery or procedure. If subject is taking aspirin, clopidogrel, ticagrelor, or prasugrel, it should be discontinued for 7 days, 5 days, 3-5 days, and 7 days before surgery. Antiplatelet therapy may be restarted as previous regimen at fourth postoperative day or sooner unless significant bleeding risk or bleeding event occurs. |
