U.S., April 10 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07520890) titled 'Oral Biopsy Bleeding in Patients on Direct Oral Anticoagulants (DOACs)' on April 02.
Brief Summary: Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) are increasingly used, but evidence on bleeding risk during oral soft tissue biopsy is limited. This prospective case-control study compared intraoperative, perioperative, and postoperative bleeding in 50 patients on uninterrupted DOAC therapy versus 50 anticoagulant-naive controls undergoing standardized oral soft tissue biopsy with suturing. All bleeding events were managed with local haemostatic measures. The study aims to determine whether DOAC continuation is safe for this procedure.
