Blood thinners after leg artery surgery to prevent clots
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult (any age, any gender).
- You have critical limb ischemia (severe leg artery blockage) and are scheduled for a procedure to open or bypass the blocked arteries.
- You have not had a blood clot during your current hospital stay.
- You do not have any condition that would make taking rivaroxaban unsafe (like allergies or bleeding risk).
- You are able to return for a checkup 30 days after your procedure.

This study looks at whether giving certain blood-thinning medicines after a leg artery procedure helps prevent serious problems like heart attacks or strokes. It compares different treatment plans to see which is safer and more effective.
This trial compares two ways to prevent blood clots in people with severe leg blockage (chronic limb-threatening ischemia) who are not having surgery. It tests aspirin alone versus a newer blood thinner (rivaroxaban) plus aspirin, to see which works better in preventing complications.
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 trial compares two blood thinners, Rivaroxaban (a pill) and Enoxaparin (a shot), to see which works better at preventing dangerous blood clots in the legs after emergency abdominal surgery. It may help you if you need to stay in bed for more than a day after your operation.
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.
This trial compares two medicines to prevent blood clots after heart valve surgery. If you've had a tissue valve replaced or repaired, this study will see if a newer blood thinner (rivaroxaban) is safer and works better than the standard treatment.
