Controversies still exist whether to continue or withdraw aspirin (ASA) perioperatively. This study was performed to determine whether patients on preoperative antiplatelet therapy (APT) benefit from continuing ASA in terms of thrombotic and bleeding risk prevention.Among 307 consecutive patients who were on APT preoperatively for the secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease and who underwent elective major abdominal malignancy surgery, 148 patients had all the preoperative APT withdrawn and the remaining 159 patients continued only ASA. Comparisons were made between the 2 groups regarding the rate and the amount of exogenous blood transfusion as well as the incidence of thromboembolic events (TEEs) within 1 month after surgery.The incidence of perioperative TEEs of the APT withdrawn group was significantly higher than that of the ASA group (6.2% vs 0%, P = 0.005), while the rate and the amount of exogenous blood transfusion were not different each other (23.6% vs 17.0%, P = 0.146 and 4 units vs 4 units, P = 0.544, respectively).Considering the relatively low bleeding risk when continued and the increased thrombotic risk after withdrawal, ASA should be continued perioperatively in patients undergoing major abdominal malignancy surgery. |
