Abstract
Unfavorable fibrin clot features have been observed in patients with venous thromboembolism (VTE). We investigated whether rivaroxaban, a direct factor Xa inhibitor, and vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) can improve plasma clot viscoelastic properties. We studied four age- and sex-matched groups: 25 healthy controls, 15 VTE patients taking rivaroxaban 20 mg/day (blood concentration, 145 (67 - 217) ng/ml), 15 VTE patients taking VKA (INR: 2 - 3), and...
