Reply to “When to resume anticoagulation after acute gastrointestinal bleeding?”

We thank the Editor for the opportunity to respond to the comments of Dr. Veloso on our recent review article on the management of anticoagulation in patients with acute gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB) [1]. Many retrospective observational studies consistently indicate a net benefit for resuming anticoagulation in these patients, as it reduces the incidence of thromboembolic events and mortality. Conversely, there is limited evidence to guide the decision on the optimal timing for restarting anticoagulation.
