Risks and complications of transurethral resection of bladder tumors in patients receiving antiplatelet and/or anticoagulant therapy: A retrospective cohort study
BMC Urology Dec 21, 2017
Konishi T, et al. - An inquiry was set up in order to inspect the clinical safety of transurethral resection of bladder tumors (TURBT) in patients receiving anti-thromboembolic agents compared with patients not taking these agents and patients who interrupted their use perioperatively.
