International audience; BACKGROUND: A fixed-dose regimen of rivaroxaban, an oral factor Xa inhibitor, has been shown to be as effective as standard anticoagulant therapy for the treatment of deep-vein thrombosis, without the need for laboratory monitoring. This approach may also simplify the treatment of pulmonary embolism. METHODS: In a randomized, open-label, event-driven, noninferiority trial involving 4832 patients who had acute symptomatic pulmonary embolism with or without deep-vein thrombosis, we compared rivaroxaban (15 mg twice daily for 3 weeks, followed by 20 mg once daily) with standard therapy with enoxaparin followed by an adjusted-dose vitamin K antagonist for 3, 6, or 12 months. The primary efficacy outcome was symptomatic recurrent venous thromboembolism. The principal safety outcome was major or clinically relevant nonmajor bleeding. RESULTS: Rivaroxaban was noninferior to standard therapy (noninferiority margin, 2.0; P=0.003) for the primary efficacy outcome, with 50 events in the rivaroxaban group (2.1%) versus 44 events in the standard-therapy group (1.8%) (hazard ratio, 1.12; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.75 to 1.68). The principal safety outcome occurred in 10.3% of patients in the rivaroxaban group and 11.4% of those in the standard-therapy group (hazard ratio, 0.90; 95% CI, 0.76 to 1.07; P=0.23). Major bleeding was observed in 26 patients (1.1%) in the rivaroxaban group and 52 patients (2.2%) in the standard-therapy group (hazard ratio, 0.49; 95% CI, 0.31 to 0.79; P=0.003). Rates of other adverse events were similar in the two groups. CONCLUSIONS: A fixed-dose regimen of rivaroxaban alone was noninferior to standard therapy for the initial and long-term treatment of pulmonary embolism and had a potentially improved benefit-risk profile.

Background-Patients with venous thromboembolism require initial treatment with an immediate-acting anticoagulant, low-molecular-weight heparin. We evaluated a novel synthetic factor Xa inhibitor (SR90107a/ORG31540) as an alternative treatment. Methods and Results-A randomized-parallel-group, phase II trial to assess the efficacy and safety of SR90107a/ORG31540 (5, 7.5, or 10 mg once daily) relative to low-molecular-weight heparin (dalteparin, 100 IU/kg twice daily) in symptomatic proximal deep vein thrombosis. The primary outcome measure was the change in thrombus mass, assessed by ultrasonography of the leg veins and perfusion lung scintigraphy, performed at baseline and day 7+/-1. A positive outcome was defined as improvement of the ultrasound and/or perfusion scan result without deterioration of either test. Other outcome measures included symptomatic, recurrent venous thromboembolism and major bleeding for a period of 3 months. All outcomes were interpreted with the observer unaware of treatment allocation. A positive primary outcome was observed in 46 of 100 (46%), 52 of 108 (48%), 48 of 115 (42%), and 56 of 115 (49%), respectively, of the subjects given 5, 7.5, or 10 mg SR90107a/ORG31540 or dalteparin. There were 8 recurrent thromboembolic complications (2.4%) in the 334 patients treated with SR90107a/ORG31540 and 6 (5.0%) in the 119 dalteparin patients, a difference of 2.6% in favor of SR90107a/ORG31540 (95% CI -2.1% to 10.1%). The incidence of bleeding was low and was similar among the groups. Conclusions-The factor Xa inhibitor SR90107a/ORG31540 appears to be an effective and safe treatment for patients with deep vein thrombosis across a wide range of doses. This synthetic compound merits evaluation in phase III studies.

- Abstract
Background and Objectives: Delayed thrombus regression after a first episode of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) of the inferior limbs has been implicated in the development of the post-thrombotic syndrome. Whether normalization of vein segments involved in the index DVT has prognostic significance with respect to the probability of DVT recurrence or new thrombosis is currently unknown. In this study, we prospectively monitored thrombus regression in consecutive patients with symptomatic and asymptomatic DVT. Factors affecting normalization rates and the relationship between previous normalization and DVT recurrence or new thrombosis were explored., Design and Methods: One hundred and seventy-nine patients with a first episode of symptomatic DVT of the lower limbs (38 with cancer) and 104 patients with DVT occurring after hip replacement surgery were serially monitored by real time B-mode compression ultrasonography (C-US) over a period of 12 months (months 1, 3, 6 and 12). C-US normalization of popliteal and femoral venous segments was arbitrarily assigned to be residual thrombus occupying, at maximum compressibility, less than 40% of the vein area in the absence of compression., Results: In patients with no DVT recurrence or new thrombosis, C-US normalization was observed at 12 months in 100% of 99 patients with post-operative DVT, in 59% of 134 cancer-free symptomatic DVT outpatients and in 23.3% of 30 symptomatic DVT outpatients with cancer (p = 0.0001). Independent negative effects on the probability of C-US normalization were observed for younger age (p <0.05), for the outpatient presentation of the index DVT (p 0.017), for DVT involving the entire femoro-popliteal axis (p 0.05), and for the presence of cancer (p 0.05). DVT recurrence or new thrombosis was observed in 5 patients with post-operative DVT (4.8%), in 7 cancer-free patients with symptomatic DVT (5.0%) and in 8 patients with cancer (21.1%). Only 4 of these patients had shown normalization of their index DVT prior to the event. The presence of cancer was the only significant predictor of DVT recurrence and/or new thrombosis occurring within 3 months from the index DVT (OR = 4.90, p = 0.002). The absence of previous C-US normalization was the only predictor of recurrence or new thrombosis occurring after 3 and 6 months from the index DVT (OR 5.26, p 0.027)., Interpretation and Conclusions: Absence of C-US normalization after a first episode of DVT appears to be a factor favoring recurrence or new thrombosis and may be relevant to the optimal duration of oral anticoagulant treatment.

- Abstract
Unlabelled: Currently, there are not reliable data on the incidence and prevalence of post-phlebitic syndrome (PTS) after an episode of asymptomatic postoperative deep vein thrombosis (DVT). In order to evaluate the epidemiology and the clinical course of PTS in patients who were submitted to hip and knee replacement, we performed a cross sectional study in orthopedic patients with previous asymptomatic postoperative DVT. For reducing potential biases, we used currently accepted and objectively documented criteria to define the clinical manifestations and severity of PTS., Results: 98 of 217 (45.1%) patients, who underwent orthopedic surgery in the previous 2-4 years, have been included in the study. 46 of them (46.9%) had postoperative asymptomatic DVT, confirmed by venograph 23.9% satisfied criteria to be classified as having PTS. When compared with the control group (PTS 3.8%), the difference in the incidence of PTS was statistically significant (p = 0.03). The comparison of the distribution of proximal and distal thrombi in patients with PTS showed that proximal venous involvement constitutes and independent risk factor for developing PST (RR 4). We conclude that: a) about 24% of patients with previous asymptomatic postoperative DVT developed the SPT in the following 2-4 years, b) in asymptomatic DVTs, the localization of thrombi in the proximal venous segment is the most important independent risk factor for the PTS. Therefore, these results can influence the use and the choice of an adequate antithrombotic prophylaxis for reducing the incidence of postoperative proximal DVT.

- Abstract
The prevalence of DVT in the general community has been estimated from large descriptive studies of symptomatic patients; the annual incidence of proximal DVT has been reported to be 48 cases for 100,000. When associated to known risk factors, the incidence of DVT is strongly elevated; postoperative DVT occurs, for instance, in 5% to 40% of patients undergoing surgical procedures. Estimated of the incidence and prevalence of PE are less reliable than for DVT because the ante-morten diagnosis of PE is difficult and the post-mortem diagnosis highly selective. An analysis conducted on 11,000 autopsies showed that 316 of these had macroscopic pulmonary emboli; nevertheless, 11% of cases only had the diagnosis before death, while 32% of the patients were diagnosed as died of myocardial infarction, 15% of cerebrovascular disease and 14% of pneumonia. Update results, indicate that mortality due to PE is the first cause of death in hospitalized patients. Venous thromboembolism is a common disease often misdiagnosed because of low accuracy of clinical diagnosis; correct approaches for prophylaxis, therapy and to diagnosis are necessary to manage high-risk patients for DVT and/or PE and to reduce costs and social impact.
