1 Algorithm for preoperative management of patients taking antiplatelet therapy. ACS, acute coronary syndrome; BMS, bare metal stent; DES, drug-eluting stent; MI, myocardial infarction; PAD, peripheral arterial disease; PCI, percutaneous coronary intervention. *High-risk stents: long (>36 mm), proximal, overlapping, or multiple stents, stents in chronic total occlusions, or in small vessels or bifurcated lesions. **Examples of low-risk situations: more than 3 months after BMS, stroke, uncomplicated MI, PCI without stenting. ***Risk of bleeding in closed space: intracranial neurosurgery, intramedullary canal surgery, posterior eye chamber ophthalmic surgery. In these situations, the risk-to-benefit ratio of upholding versus withdrawing aspirin must be evaluated for each case individually; in case of aspirin upholding, early postoperative reinstitution is important. ****Modification to reflect updated recommendations from Levine GN, Bates ER, Bittl JA, et al ACC/AHA Guideline Focused Update on Duration of Dual Antiplatelet Therapy in Patients With Coronary Artery Disease.
