Scientific Evidence Supports Thrombin Involvement

in Cardiovascular Pathophysiological Processes

Thrombin promotes myocardial necrosis, inflammation and endothelial dysfunction

Thrombin promotes thrombosis,

which leads to myocardial

ischaemia and necrosis1

Thrombin promotes vascular

inflammation and can thereby

contribute to the progression

of coronary lesions2

Thrombin stimulates endothelial

dysfunction and can contribute to the

pathophysiology of CAD3,4

Evidence Supporting the Use of Aspirin or Clopidogrel to

Prevent CV Events in Patients with PAD is Limited

Aspirin1

Meta-analysis: aspirin vs control

Only non-significant reduction in

MACE with aspirin

However, aspirin significantly reduced

non-fatal stroke rate

Clopidogrel2

CAPRIE trial: clopidogrel vs aspirin

Only this subgroup analysis supports

the use of clopidogrel over aspirin

Outcome HR (95% CI) p-value

CV death 0.94 (0.74–1.19) 0.59

Non-fatal MI 1.04 (0.78–1.39) 0.81

Non-fatal

stroke

Subgroup RRR (95% CI) p-value

Prior stroke 7.3 (-5.7–18.7) 0.26

PAD 23.8% (8.9–36.2) 0.0028

All patients 8.7% (0.3–16.5) 0.043

Another meta-analysis by the ATTC showed a reduction in MACE with

antiplatelet treatment3

REACH: no reduction in 4-year CV events with antiplatelet agents

Vascular Dose Rivaroxaban Showed Improved Outcomes for

PAD Patients with a Need for Increased Vascular Protection

Rivaroxaban vascular dose 2.5 mg BID plus aspirin reduced the

composite endpoint of stroke, MI or CV death by 28%.

MALE by 46%

Major amputations by 70%

Despite an expected increase in major bleeding events with

Rivaroxaban 2.5 mg BID plus aspirin, no significant increase was

observed in fatal or critical organ bleeding

This dual pathway inhibition of Rivaroxaban vascular dose and aspirin

represents a major advance in the management of PAD and is the only

available therapeutic option to significantly reduce both MACE and

MALE
