Background and AimThe perioperative management and clinical course of per‐oral endoscopic myotomy for patients receiving antithrombotic therapy remains unknown. This study aimed to clarify the status of antithrombotic therapy in per‐oral endoscopic myotomy and to determine its safety and efficacy.MethodsPatients treated with per‐oral endoscopic myotomy from 2010 to 2019 in seven high‐volume centers in Japan were retrospectively investigated. The patients' characteristics and antithrombotic agent management were analyzed; clinical outcomes were compared with those without antithrombotic agents.ResultsOf 2752 patients who underwent per‐oral endoscopic myotomy, 120 patients on antithrombotic therapy (mean age 71.0 years, American Society of Anesthesiologists class II–IV [67.5%]) were identified. Antiplatelet, anticoagulant, and a combination of antithrombotic agents were used in 82, 30, and 8 patients, respectively. The perioperative management adhered to the therapeutic endoscopy guidelines published by the Japanese Society of Gastroenterological Endoscopy in most patients (88.3%). A poorer clinical baseline status (American Society of Anesthesiologists class II–IV; 67.0%vs24.3%) and the sigmoid type (40.7%vs22.3%) were more frequently observed in patients with achalasia on antithrombotic therapy. However, the clinical success (Eckardt score ≤ 3; 97.6%vs94.6) and adverse event rates, such as bleeding and thromboembolic events (5.5%vs4.7%), did not show inferiority.ConclusionsPer‐oral endoscopic myotomy on antithrombotic therapy is safe and effective. However, caution is required as patients on antithrombotic therapy tend to have poorer baseline health and achalasia statuses. Our experience should help establish perioperative management with antithrombotic therapy.
