Meta‐analysis: colonoscopic post‐polypectomy bleeding in patients on continued clopidogrel therapy

BACKGROUND: Current guidelines recommend the cessation of clopidogrel therapy 5 days and 7-10 days prior to colonoscopic polypectomy. Recent studies have advocated for continued clopidogrel as post-polypectomy bleeding (PPB) rates have been similar to those in the general population not on antithrombotic therapy. AIM: To assess colonoscopic post-polypectomy bleeding in patients on continued clopidogrel therapy.
