People taking blood thinners having colonoscopy
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at patients who are already taking blood-thinning medicines and are scheduled for a planned colonoscopy. It may help improve how colonoscopies are done safely for people on these medicines.

- Be older than 18 years
- You must be scheduled for a planned (elective) colonoscopy

This study looks at what factors might make it harder to clean out your bowel before a colonoscopy. Understanding these reasons could help doctors give better instructions and improve success rates.
This trial compares stopping aspirin versus continuing it before a colonoscopy in people who take aspirin to prevent heart problems. The goal is to find out which approach is safer and works best.
This study compares bleeding after common endoscopic procedures (like colonoscopy or upper endoscopy) between people who take blood thinners and those who don't. It may help doctors better understand risks for patients on anticoagulants.
This trial looks at how often bleeding happens after an upper scope (EGD) or colonoscopy in people who keep taking blood-thinning medicines during the procedure. The results may help doctors choose safer prep plans to lower bleeding risk.
This study looks at whether patients taking certain blood-thinning medications (DOACs) have more bleeding during oral biopsies—small tissue samples taken from the mouth. Understanding this helps doctors know how to safely care for patients on these medications.
This study looks at whether a structured (protocol-based) care plan before and around surgery improves outcomes for people taking blood-thinning medicines. It may help teams plan safer timing and monitoring to reduce complications around the operation.
