A healthy, non-anticoagulated cohort (CG) served as a control group. The main outcomes measured were the frequency of postoperative bleeding, the classification of the severity of postoperative bleeding (1a, 1b, 1c, 2, 3), and the correlation with the AT surgical intervention classification.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>In total, 195 patients were included in the study, with 95 patients in the AT group and 100 in the CG. Postoperative bleeding was significant in the AT group vs. the CG (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.000), with a significant correlation with surgical intervention class C (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.013) and the severity class of bleeding 1a (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.044). There was no significant correlation with procedures of type A, B or C for the other postoperative bleeding gradations (1b, 1c, 2 and 3). There was a statistically significant difference in the occurrence of postoperative bleeding events between the DOAC\/APT group and the VK group (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.036), but there were no significant differences regarding the other AT agents.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>The continuation of anticoagulation therapy for surgical interventions also seems reasonable for high-risk interventions.
