Abstract:

Objective To explore the curative effects of low-dose rivaroxaban combined with ant-platelet drugs for symptomatic lower extremity atherosclerosis disease(LEASD).Methods The data of 167 LEASD patients were retrospectively analyzed and divided into observation group and control group. Patients in observation group were treated with antithrombotic therapy using rivaroxaban (2.5 mg, bid) combined with anti-platelet drug namely cilostazol (100 mg, bid), and those in control group with the same dose of cilostazol alone (100 mg, bid). A 18-month follow-up was performed. The key observation was major adverse limb events(MALEs), major adverse cardiovascular events(MACEs) and adverse bleeding events(MBEs).Results MACEs and MALEs were significantly lower in observation group than in control group (P<0.05). No differences were statistically significant in MBEs between groups (P>0.05).Conclusion For LEASD patient, low-dose rivaroxaban combined with anti-platelet drug namely cilostazol can significantly reduce MACEs and MALEs, and improve prognosis with safety.
