Blood thinners for heart injury after hip fracture surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study compares two ways to lower the risk of blood clots in people who had hip surgery and also had a slight heart injury. You will receive either a standard blood thinner (rivaroxaban) plus aspirin, or just aspirin alone, to see which works better without extra risk.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 45 years or older and had surgery for a hip fracture that happened after a simple fall or minor injury.
- You have signs that your heart was under stress during your surgery, shown by a high troponin level in your blood.
- You have not been taking the standard blood-thinner aspirin for prevention before this trial, and you are not already on a specific blood-thinner combination.
- Your kidneys are still working well (not severely damaged).
- You do not have a bleeding problem, severe liver disease, or are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and you can take the study medications safely.

This trial tests if a personalized approach with blood thinners and statins can reduce heart risks after non-cardiac surgery. It is for adults 45 and older who had a heart injury during or after surgery.
This study tests a shorter course of blood thinner medication (rivaroxaban) after hip replacement surgery, following an enhanced recovery plan. It aims to see if a shorter treatment can safely prevent blood clots and help you recover faster.
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 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.
