I think that we need to look into the issue of practicing stopping the aspirin or clopidogrel in ischaemic stroke patients who are fit enough to have their PEG done. For how long we need to stop the aspirin and do we start the patients on the low molecular weight heparin instead? What is exactly the risk of bleeding from a PEG comparing to the risk of having another stroke/extending the existing one in such group of patients?. |

I can't comment on PEG, but for bronchoscopy we continue aspirin, but stop clopidogrel - those patients on clopidogrel bleed like stink when we biopsy vascular tumours... |
