Rivaroxaban Versus Warfarin in Patients with Mechanical Heart Valves: Open-Label, Proof-of-Concept trial —The RIWA study
ConclusionsIn this pilot study, rivaroxaban 15 mg twice daily had thromboembolic and bleeding events similar to warfarin in patients with mechanical heart valves. These data confirm the authors’ proof-of-concept and suggest that a larger trial with a similar design is not unreasonable.ClinicalTrial.gov identifierNCT03566303.
