Plavix Interuption For Colonoscopy

Updated

I am scheduled for a screening colonoscopy. I have been on Plavix after undergoing a repair of a Popiteal Aneurysm (behind the knee) in August. The GI doctor says I should discontinue Plavix 5 days before the test. The cardiologist isn't sure. What is the best situation.
