ABSTRACT
Between 25 and 38% of patients who undergo a skin procedure
used antithrombotic agents, so the dermatologist should
know well the pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics, their
indications and possible adverse effects. The decision to continue
or discontinue treatment with oral anticoagulants is the
risk of bleeding against the risk of a thrombotic event causing
discontinuation. In this article we review aspirin and oral anticoagulants
and its implications in cutaneous surgery.
