Definitions
Warfarin + Aspirin after ACS
Old data (Before PPCI era)
The first used NOAC (ximelagatran) + ASA post ACS
Significant reduction in the composite of (death, myocardial infarction, CVS) at 6 months
withdrawn due to liver toxicity.
ESTEEM trial
RE-DEEM trial (1861 patients)
RCT (1:1) Dabigatran (50mg vs. 75mg vs. 110 mg vs. 150 mg) (b.i.d) vs. Placebo
with DAPT after ACS
Dose-related x 2-4 folds increased risk of bleeding
(Major+clinically relevant minor)
(ISTH)
APPRAISE-2 trial (7400 patients)
RCT (1:1) Apixaban 5mg (b.i.d) with Antiplatelet Therapy after ACS vs. Placebo
Apixaban group had a higher rate of TIMI major bleedingNo significant reduction in recurrent ischemic events
ATLAS ACS (Phase 2 trial)
(Anti-Xa Therapy to Lower Cardiovascular Events in Addition to Standard Therapy in Subjects with ACS)
• Enrolled 3491 ACS patients
• Rivaroxaban total daily doses (5 to 20 mg) Vs. placebo
• Reduced the composite end point of (death, MI, stroke)
• Dose-dependent increase in bleeding events
• Lowest hazard ratio (2.5 mg b.i.d)
ATLAS ACS 2 (Phase 3 trial)
(Anti-Xa Therapy to Lower Cardiovascular Events in Addition to Standard Therapy in Subjects with ACS)

COMMANDER HF trial (5022 patients)
RCT (1:1) Rivaroxaban 2.5mg (b.i.d) vs. Placebo
HFrEF+ CCS
Rivaroxaban group had a higher ISTH major bleeding
No significant reduction in MACE
• 93% on ASA
• 35% on DAPT
High ischemic risk
Diffuse multi-vessel CAD plus one of the following:
-DM
-Recurrent MI
-PAD
-CKD eGFR (15-59)
Intermediate ischemic risk
-Any of the above
-Heart failure
High bleeding risk
-Prior intracerebral hge or stroke
-Recent GIT bleeding or Anemia
-Intracerebral or GIT pathology
-Liver failure
-Coagulopathy
-Frailty
-eGFR < 15 or dialysis
Adding to DAPT from the start
(ATLAS-ACS)
Adding to ASA after 12 months of DAPT
(COMPASS)
Take home message
• Low dose Rivaroxaban plus DAPT post ACS reduced MACE, yet with
increased bleeding risk (ATLAS-ACS 2)
• Low dose Rivaroxaban plus ASA in CCS reduced MACE, again with
increased bleeding risk (COMPASS)
• Tailored patient approach should be adopted
