  schema:description "If you take a blood thinner and need an operation, biopsy or endoscopy, your team will make a written plan saying exactly when to take your last dose and when to restart. Aspirin is often continued. Warfarin is usually stopped five days before, and the newer tablets (apixaban, rivaroxaban, edoxaban, dabigatran) one to three days before. Most people do not need heparin injections in the gap."@en ;
