Bridging anticoagulation and the BRIDGE trial.

[badgettrg]

The BRIDGE Trial, http://pubmed.gov/26095867 , was commented on by JournalWatch at http://www.jwatch.org/na38781/2015/09/08/perioperative-anticoagulation-atrial-fibrillation-bridge . Their comment included:

"However, the average CHADS2 score in this study was 2.3, and 90% of patients underwent minor procedures (e.g., endoscopic, dermatologic, or dental procedures, or cardiac catheterization), so whether the results apply to patients with higher CHADS2 scores or to those undergoing major surgery is uncertain."

For now while only add alert about this study in the area of the flow chart for moderate risk a-fib.
