it is not as simple as probably u r thinking. it all depends on what type of treatment / surgery u need . one has to weigh the risk of bleeding and embolism both and keep a balance by adjusting the dose . write specific requirement for proper assessment

Depends on situation, do not stop without medical supervision if you have an artificial heart valve. If you are taking for vein clots, discuss with Dr. first. If you are taking for atrial fibrillation, it can usually be stopped safely and restarted after procedure.
