Olympus reviewed the following literature: "risk of delayed bleeding after hot snare polypectomy and endoscopic mucosal resection in the colorectum with continuation of anticoagulants." this retrospective study evaluated the risk of delayed bleeding after hot snare polypectomy and endoscopic mucosal resection in the colorectum with continuation of anticoagulants.A total of 137 patients (283 lesions), classified into continuation group of 50 patients (93 lesions) and discontinuation group of 87 patients (190 lesions) were included.Colonoscopies were performed using standard endoscopes (type cf-hq290zi, cf-hq290i, pcf-h290zi, or pcf-q260ji; olympus) after full bowel preparation and the instruments used for resection were captivatortm (boston scientific), snaremaster plus (olympus), and dualoop (medico¿s hirata) and all lesions included in this study were treated with electrocautery procedures and electrosurgical units (erbe icc 200, somo technology) set to 30 w for coagulation and cut mode.Delayed bleeding occurred in 12 lesions, and there was no significant difference in the incidence rates between the continuation and the discontinuation groups (3.2% vs.4.7%; p=0.756).Logistic regression analysis showed that continued use of anticoagulants was not a significant risk factor for delayed bleeding compared to anticoagulant discontinuation (odds ratio, 0.670; 95% ci, 0.177¿2.537; p=0.556).There was no significant difference in the incidence rate and risk of delayed bleeding, regardless of the length of the anticoagulant withdrawal period.In continuation group, hypertension occurred in 32 patients, diabetes mellitus occurred in 10 patients, atrial fibrillation occurred in 40 patients and in discontinuation group, hypertension occurred in 54 patients, diabetes mellitus occurred in 21 patients, atrial fibrillation occurred in 75 patients, deep vein thrombosis occurred in 5 patients.This study concluded that the continued use of anticoagulants, compared to their discontinuation, did not increase the risk of colorectal delayed bleeding after hsp and emr.This results suggest that current guideline recommendations for anticoagulant withdrawal before colonoscopic polypectomy may be reconsidered. type of adverse events/number of patients: delayed post-polypectomy bleeding - 10 patients (12 lesions).
