Rivaroxaban phase III pivotal data presented at EFORT annual meeting

m (VTE)

Annually in the U.S., more than 900,000 people suffer from VTE events, and 300,000 people die from VTE. VTE includes deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot in a deep vein (usually in the leg), and pulmonary embolism (PE), a blood clot in the lungs, both of which are serious, life-threatening but often preventable conditions. These clots often break apart and travel through the bloodstream, blocking blood flow to vital organs.

Patients undergoing major orthopedic surgery are at high risk for VTE because during hip or knee replacement procedures, the large veins of the leg that carry blood back to the heart are damaged, significantly increasing the risk of VTE. In fact, venous blood clots occur in 40-60% of patients undergoing major orthopedic surgery who do not receive preventative care. Each year, approximately 700,000 Americans elect to have hip and knee replacement surgeries, and a blood clot is the most common cause of re-hospitalization for this patient group.
