Anticoagulation therapy is advised before

Multiple choice — select the best answer

AEmergency percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)
BCardiac catheterization without intervention
CEmergency coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG)
DTranscatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR)

✓ Correct answer: D. Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) requires anticoagulation therapy to reduce the risk of clot formation during and after the procedure. In emergency procedures like percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), there might not be enough time to initiate anticoagulation therapy beforehand. Cardiac catheterization without intervention typically does not require anticoagulation.
