ESC 2018 | MARINER: Rivaroxaban as Thromboprophylaxis after Hospitalization

For acute patients hospitalized for a clinical disease (e.g.: heart failure), indicating rivaroxaban for 6.5 weeks after discharge did not significantly reduce the risk of symptomatic venous thromboembolism.

MARINER: Rivaroxaban como trombo profilaxis luego de una hospitalizaciónEfficacy primary end point rate was low, with 0.83% in patients treated with rivaroxaban vs 1.1% of patients receiving placebo.

 

This work presented at ESC and simultaneously published at NEJM also showed a significantly lower rate of nonfatal thromboembolism and the composite of symptomatic thromboembolism + all-cause death in the rivaroxaban branch, although since the primary end point did not happen, this must be gathered as a hypothesis generator.

 

Rivaroxaban did not increase major bleeding (safety primary end point) but did increase minor clinically relevant bleeding risk and the risk of other bleedings.
