Abstract

Chronic anticoagulation therapy does not lead to increased short- or long-term postoperative complications such as graft failure, regrafting, or increased amputation rates following STSG for wound closure. Negative outcomes following STSG for DFUs in chronically anticoagulated individuals are minimal, and grafting should be performed without hesitation.
