For patients maintained on antiplatelet monotherapy post-DAPT following PCI, what is your recommendation for holding antiplatelet therapy prior to non-cardiac surgery?
Do you ever recommend "bridging" with low-dose aspirin?
Answer from: at Academic Institution
As clopidogrel recently has gained traction as a preferred long-term monotherapy to aspirin but is generally not allowed to be administered for a week prior to surgery I have “bridged” with 81 mg aspirin.
