- (en) [Rivaroxaban (Xarelto®): Update on new clinical data and therapeutic perspectives] Direct oral anticoagulants (AODs), which target coagulation Factors Xa or IIa, represent a major therapeutic innovation. Even if classical anticoagulants, such as vitamin K antagonists (AVK) and low molecular weight heparins, still play a crucial role in preventive or curative treatment, AODs have revolutionized the medical management of thrombotic diseases, concerning both arterial and venous conditions. In addition to being able to replace conventional anticoagulants in common indications like atrial fibrillation and venous thromboembolic disease, there is a plethora of Xarelto data from recent and original studies, as well as from registries and Phase III sub-analyses, which are currently revolutionizing the modalities and benefits of oral anticoagulation at all stages of life and in a wide spectrum of indications. This article provides a synthetic and practical review of these data and their therapeutic implications.
