Multicenter Study Clinical Trial[Prevention of postoperative bleeding in patients taking oral anticoagulants. Effects of tranexamic acid].
We present a prospective clinical study on use of tranexamic acid mouthwashes in patients taking oral anticoagulants and who have to undergo minor ambulatory oral surgery, without modifying their anticoagulant therapy. ⋯ Use of tranexamic acid mouthwashes under a specific protocol is an efficient, reliable and economic method in preventing postoperative bleeding in patients under oral anticoagulant therapy.
