Aspirin reversal--an incremental administration of aspirin shortens the bleeding time prolonged by low-dose aspirin.
In summary, an incremental dosage of aspirin (660 mg) shortens the bleeding time prolonged by daily low-dosage aspirin (81 mg) in healthy subjects. The "Aspirin Reversal" phenomenon might be useful to control excessive bleeding during surgery in patients taking daily low-dosage aspirin as anti-coagulants.
