The surgeon or nurse at pre op will tell you what to do well beforehand. If you're worried about it you'll have to contact your cardiologist for advice

Hi

All 3 surgeries reqired me to stop PRADAXA 110mg twice day for 3 x24hr days.

Restarting was an issue and I just pleased myself. Not counting the day of operation 2 days.

I never had a problem.

All 3 x General Anaesthetic.
