New Data From Two Large Studies Reinforce Effectiveness of Dual Pathway Inhibition (DPI) with XARELTO ® (rivaroxaban) Plus Aspirin in Patients with Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) and/or Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD)
RARITAN, N.J., May 23, 2022 – Findings from the XARELTO® (rivaroxaban) Phase 3 COMPASS Long-Term Open Label Extension (LTOLE) study and the XARELTO® in Combination with Acetylsalicylic Acid (XATOA) registry have been published in the European Society of Cardiology’s (ESC) European Heart Journal, Cardiovascular Pharmacotherapy. Additionally, the XATOA registry was presented at the American Congress of Cardiology’s 71st Annual Scientific Session (ACC.22).

Clinical Outcome Following Reinstitution of Anticoagulation after Major Gastrointestinal Bleed: A Single Institutional Analysis
Conclusion: Given the rising national trend on the use of anticoagulants for various medical necessities, it is imperative that a safe and efficient process be devised on reinstitution of anticoagulation post MGIB to guide Clinicians. Although our study represents a single institutional analysis, it concurs with recent studies that early resumption of anticoagulant following stabilization of MGIB is associated with lower thromboembolic events. Timing for resumption depends largely on the medical reason for anticoagulation; reinstitution by day 7 appear safe for patients on mechanical valve whereas after day 12 maybe approp...
