Abstract
The bezoar is only one example for an urgent indication for endoscopic intervention during oral anticoagulation. Because of the lack of life-threatening indication the endoscopy often is delayed for 1 to 3 days until the International Normalized Ratio (INR) is nearly in normal range. As well as the application of unique guidelines on endoscopy during oral anticoagulation new future oral anticoagulants with lower half-life may help to shorten suffering of patients.Entities:
