Aspirin vs. Warfarin after bioprosthetic valve surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial compares aspirin to warfarin in the first six months after receiving a bioprosthetic (tissue) heart valve. It aims to find which treatment better prevents blood clots without causing excessive bleeding.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 19 years or older
- You had a successful surgery to replace a heart valve with a bioprosthetic (tissue) valve in the aortic or mitral position
- You are within the first day after surgery
- You do not have a mechanical (artificial) heart valve
- You have not had a hemorrhagic (bleeding) stroke in the last 3 months
- You do not need blood thinners for other reasons like atrial fibrillation or deep vein thrombosis

This study compares two blood thinners, apixaban (Eliquis) and warfarin, for people with atrial fibrillation who have just had heart valve surgery (repair or biological replacement). The goal is to see which medicine works better at preventing strokes and blood clots in the first three months after surgery.
This Phase 3 study tests whether an oral blood thinner (apixaban) works for people who recently received a bioprosthetic aortic valve. It aims to prevent dangerous blood clots while checking safety, especially bleeding risk.
This study compares a blood thinner pill (a factor Xa inhibitor) with warfarin (vitamin K antagonist) in people who have had a mechanical aortic valve replacement. It looks at which option works better and is safer over the long term.
This study checks whether a blood-thinning medicine can treat problems with a bioprosthetic (man-made tissue) aortic valve. It focuses on valve “clots” that can happen after either a catheter-based or surgery-based valve replacement.
This trial tests whether taking aspirin alone is as safe and effective as taking aspirin with warfarin after a TAVR procedure for severe aortic regurgitation. It is for people who do not need long-term blood thinners for other conditions.
This trial compares two ways to prevent blood clots after open heart surgery: a “direct oral” blood thinner pill versus warfarin (a vitamin K antagonist). It may help find the safest and most effective option for people who develop atrial fibrillation after surgery.
