Blood thinner comparison to prevent clots after belly surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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 study compares two blood-thinner medicines given after a C-section to see which one works better at preventing dangerous blood clots. It may help women who are at higher risk for clots rest easier right after delivery.
This trial tests whether a medication called apixaban (a blood thinner) can safely prevent blood clots after abdominal or pelvic surgery. It is for people who have a moderate risk of clots and bleeding, and who are not taking other blood thinners.
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.
