- Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of new oral anticoagulants and vitamin K antagonists for the anticoagulation for the implantation of vena cava filters in patients with deep venous thrombosis.
- Detailed Description
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) of lower extremities is a venous reflux disorder caused by abnormal coagulation of deep vein blood. The main adverse consequences of DVT are pulmonary embolism (PE) and post-thrombotic syndrome, which can significantly affect the quality of life of patients and even lead to death. Anticoagulation is the basic treatment of DVT, which can inhibit the spread of thrombus, facilitate thrombus autolysis and recanalization of the lumen, and reduce the incidence and mortality of PE. For patients with contraindications or complications of anticoagulation therapy, the implantation of inferior vena cava filter may be considered. At the same time, patients with the following conditions may be considered for the implantation of inferior vena cava filter: PE is still present in the case of adequate anticoagulant therapy, floating thrombus in the iliac, femoral or inferior vena cava, thrombectomy is planned for acute DVT, and abdominal, pelvic or lower extremity surgery with high risk factors for PE and acute DVT. The current standard treatment regimen for venous thromboembolism (VTE) anticoagulation is low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) combined with or followed by vitamin K antagonist warfarin. It has been proved that low molecular weight heparin has good safety and effectiveness in the prevention and initial treatment of VTE, especially for VTE prevention and treatment in cancer patients and pregnant patients. As a standard oral anticoagulant, warfarin has definite anticoagulant effect and is cheap. However, low molecular weight heparin needs subcutaneous injection, which can cause adverse reactions such as pain, itching, subcutaneous hemorrhage and nodules at the injection site, and some complications such as heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT). Warfarin anticoagulation therapy requires long-term laboratory monitoring of international standardized ratio (INR) and timely adjustment of warfarin dosage according to INR, which will result in difficult follow-up management, poor compliance, uncertainty of warfarin treatment effect, and even serious bleeding complications. According to relevant studies, the incidence of warfarin-related major bleeding is about 1%-2%, and the recurrence or aggravation of thrombus is also high. Rivaroxaban can simplify treatment, and is safe. It's also not easy to interact with food or drugs. Previous studies have shown that rivaroxaban is effective in preventing deep venous thrombosis after orthopaedic surgery. Rivaroxaban has also been shown to be safe and effective in anticoagulation therapy for patients with deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, and repeated coagulation monitoring is not required. However, Rivaroxaban lacks sufficient clinical data for perioperative adjuvant anticoagulation therapy of filter implantation. Therefore, this study should be carried out to provide the basis for DVT treatment guidelines and explore the clinical indications of rivaroxaban.

Group Intervention Description Warfarin/ Nadroparin Nadroparin Participants will receive Nadroparin 1mg/kg twice daily (subcutaneous), plus warfarin 3mg oral once daily for 5 days after the operation, later warfarin(oral) at individually titrated doses(0.75mg to 18mg) to achieve a target international normalized ratio (INR) of 2.0 to 3.0, once daily until 3 months after the filter is retrieved. Rivaroxaban Rivaroxaban Participants will receive rivaroxaban 15mg oral twice daily for 3 weeks after operation, later rivaroxaban 20mg oral once daily until 3 months after the filter is retrieved. Warfarin/ Nadroparin Warfarin Participants will receive Nadroparin 1mg/kg twice daily (subcutaneous), plus warfarin 3mg oral once daily for 5 days after the operation, later warfarin(oral) at individually titrated doses(0.75mg to 18mg) to achieve a target international normalized ratio (INR) of 2.0 to 3.0, once daily until 3 months after the filter is retrieved.
