Blood thinners after leg artery surgery for PAD patients
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study compares different blood thinner medications to see which works best at preventing serious problems like heart attack or stroke after a leg artery procedure. It is for people with peripheral artery disease (PAD) who had a balloon or stent placed in their leg arteries.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have peripheral artery disease (PAD) in your legs, or have had leg pain when walking with weak pulses.
- You had a procedure (like angioplasty or stenting) to open a blocked artery in your leg.
- You do not have a recent stroke or certain types of stroke in the past month.
- Your heart is pumping well (ejection fraction over 30%) and you do not have severe heart failure.
- You are not allergic to blood thinners like rivaroxaban or aspirin.
- You are not pregnant or planning to become pregnant, and are using effective birth control if needed.

This study tests a personalized approach to prevent blood clots in patients who have had surgery to repair blocked arteries in their legs. Researchers want to find the best blood-thinning medication for each individual to reduce serious complications while keeping you safe.
This study looks at results of a minimally invasive procedure done inside blood vessels (endovascular therapy) for people with painful or worsening leg artery disease. It uses both past (retrospective) and future (prospective) patient information to better understand outcomes.
This study tests a special catheter to open blocked arteries in the thigh, knee, or lower leg. It may help improve blood flow and reduce symptoms like leg pain or wounds.
This trial compares two blood-thinning strategies after leg artery surgery or angioplasty to prevent dangerous blood clots. Participants will receive either rivaroxaban plus aspirin or aspirin alone, and researchers will monitor for clots over 30 days.
This trial studies which blood-thinning medicine combination is safest and most helpful after coronary bypass surgery combined with a procedure to unblock the artery (endarterectomy). It focuses on preventing dangerous blood clots while also avoiding excess bleeding.
This trial tests if a new blood-thinning drug (factor XI inhibitor) can prevent serious heart and leg problems in people who recently had a leg artery procedure. It compares the new drug to standard care for up to 3 years.
