CrCl > 50 ml/min â discontinue dabigatran at least 24 hours prior to the. procedure, but if high risk for bleeding (major surgery) stop 2 â 4 days prior. CrCl 50-30 ml/min â stop 48 hours prior to the procedure, if high risk for. bleeding stop for 4 days. CrCl < 30 - hold drug for 2 â 5 days and > 5 days for high risk bleeding. In patients at high risk of bleeding a thrombin time can be checked 6 â 12 hours. prior to surgery â if normal there is no dabigatran present.
