Provide patient appropriate counseling before catheterization

❑ Address individual concerns and questions

Hold Food Intake Before Procedure

❑ Keep patient NPO at least 6 hours before elective coronary angiography

Hold Certain Medications Before Procedure

Warfarin

❑ Hold warfarin for at least 2 to 6 days before elective coronary angiography (to prevent bleeding).

❑ Confirm INR < 1.8 (preferable INR < 1.4) within 24 hours before arterial puncture

❑ Restart warfarin 12 to 24 hours following catheterization (warfarin requires 2 to 3 days for INR to become therapeutic range)

❑ Consider heparin bridging 3 days before planned catheterization for high risk patients to prevent prolonged subtherapeutic INR

❑ Therapeutic dose LMWH 1 mg/kg subcutaneously twice daily for high-risk patients who are not at high risk of bleeding
❑ Intermediate dose LMWH 40 mg subcutaneously twice daily for high-risk patients at high risk of bleeding

Novel Oral Anticoagulants

❑ Rivaroxaban: Hold rivaroxaban for 2 days in patients with low bleeding risk OR for 3 days in patients with high bleeding risk

❑ Apixaban: Hold apixaban for 2 days in patients with low bleeding risk OR for 3 days in patients with high bleeding risk

❑ If patient does not develop any hematoma, restart NOAC 1 day after the catheterization for patients with low bleeding risk OR 2-3 days after the catheterization for patients with high bleeding risk.

Dabigatran

❑ Hold dabigatran based on renal function as shown below.

❑ CrCl > 50 ml/min: Hold dabigatran for 1 day if low/intermediate bleeding risk or 3 days if high bleeding risk (e.g. major surgery)

❑ CrCl between 30 and 50 ml/min: Hold dabigatran for 3 days if low/intermediate bleeding risk or 5 days if high bleeding risk (e.g. major surgery)

❑ CrCl < 30 ml/min: Hold dabigatran for 2 to 5 days if low/intermediate bleeding risk or > 5 days if high bleeding risk (e.g. major surgery)

❑ If patient does not develop any hematoma, restart dabigatran 1 day after the catheterization for patients with low bleeding risk OR 2-3 days after the catheterization for patients with high bleeding risk.

❑ Resume LMWH 12-24 hours following cardiac catheterization

Metformin
