Abstract
Gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB) is one of the common clinical emergencies and is usually caused by the long-term use of antiplatelet drugs. With the increase in the prevalence of cardiovascular disease (CVD), there are a growing number of patients with GIB secondary to antiplatelet drugs. In this setting, the discontinuation and resumption of antiplatelet drugs in patients with GIB who are receiving antiplatelet drugs for CVD has become a hot research topic. This article aims to comprehensively review the management of antiplatelet drugs after GIB in patients with CVD using aspirin or P2Y12 receptor antagonist alone as well as dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) to guide clinical practice.
