Hi,

Before the intervention, some examinations should be done. I suggest you do a complete blood count. I also suggest:
- Platelets level.
- Coagulation time and clotting time.
- An electrocardiogram.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi,
