Summary

This study looks at the best time to restart blood thinners (DOACs) after having polyps removed during a colonoscopy. About 194 adults who take these medications will be randomly assigned to restart them either the same day or two days later. The goal is to see if restarting earlier leads to similar bleeding rates as waiting longer.
