For a simple procedure like that they might not require you to stop at all, but if they do, a brief stoppage of an anticoagulant for a day or two is such a trivial risk for you that it's not worth worrying about. Seriously, your stroke risk even without taking Eliquis at all is in the 1-2% range, so divide that by 365 and you get an increased risk of about .0005% per day when you're off Eliquis. Your odds of being struck by a meteorite are higher. :-)
