Date:6/25/2008

study was released online Wednesday by The Lancet and will be published in an upcoming issue.

"With superior efficacy, no compromise in safety, and a convenient once-daily regimen, rivaroxaban seems an obvious choice for simplified thromboprophylaxis after hip or knee arthroplasty [replacement]," Dr. John Eikelboom and Jeffrey Weitz, of McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, wrote in an accompanying editorial.
