We can safely manage patients on antithrombotic therapy in the interventional pathology practice with this practical algorithm based on the new Antithrombotic Therapy Management Guidelines.

This new algorithm helps ensure safe care for patients on antithrombotic therapy undergoing interventional pathology procedures. #interventionalpathology.
