Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of rivaroxaban for the prevention of deep vein thrombosis in patients with left iliac vein compression treated with stent implantation.

Detailed Description

Left Iliac Vein Compression Syndrome (LIVCS) is a disease of iliac vein stenosis/occlusion caused by chronic friction and compression of the left iliac vein by the right common iliac artery and lumbar vertebra. It is also called Cockett syndrome or May-Thurner syndrome. Recently, left iliac vein balloon dilatation with stent implantation have been used to treat patients with LIVCS, and have achieved good results. However, no matter the iliac vein stenosis or occlusion, interventional therapy can directly cause local trauma and intimal injury, which is a clear inducement of local thrombosis. Therefore, high intensity anticoagulation therapy is still needed to prevent secondary thrombosis in stent after left iliac vein balloon dilatation with stent implantation. At present, the postoperative anticoagulation regimen of these patients is early heparin anticoagulant therapy, and later warfarin anticoagulant therapy. However, due to the narrow therapeutic window of the drug, patients need to adjust the dosage according to coagulation function under the guidance of doctors. Rivaroxaban can simplify treatment, and is safe. 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. However, Rivaroxaban lacks sufficient clinical data for adjuvant anticoagulation therapy after balloon dilatation with stent implantation. Therefore, this study should be carried out to provide the basis for LIVCS treatment guidelines and explore the clinical indications of rivaroxaban.

RivaroxabanRivaroxabanParticipants will receive rivaroxaban 15mg twice daily for three weeks, then 20mg oral once daily after operation.
Warfarin/NadroparinWarfarinParticipants 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 6 months.
Warfarin/NadroparinNadroparinParticipants 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 6 months.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
stent occlusion rate2 year after operation

Stent occlusion is defined as DS \> 50% for each modality with no procedure performed on the treated segment

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
All cause mortality1, 3, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months after operation

Percentage of participants with all deaths

Quality of Life Change Scale Survey Results1, 3, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months after operation

Quality of life will be assessed by MOS item short-form health survey scale (SF-36). SF-36 includes eight subscales: physical functioning (PF, 10 items), role limitations due to physical health problems (RL-P, 4 items), bodily pain (BP, 2 items), general health (GH, 5 items), vitality (V, 4 items), social functioning (SF, 2 items), role limitations due to emotional problems (RL-E, 3 items) and mental health (MH, 5 items). The vitality sub-score assesses energy and fatigue, and ranges from 0 (worst) - 100 (best).

anticoagulation raleted mortality1, 3, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months after operation

Percentage of participants with anticoagulation raleted deaths

Proportion of participants with stent displacement/fracture1, 3, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months after operation

Events will be assessed based on computed tomography (CT) or X ray

Proportion of participants with hemorrhage1, 3, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months after operation

Including hemorrhagic stroke, gastrointestinal bleeding, hematuria, mucocutaneous hemorrhage and other visceral bleeding

Proportion of participants with other vascular events1, 3, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months after operation

All vascular events (ST segment elevation myocardial infarction, non ST segment elevation myocardial infarction, acute coronary syndrome, unstable angina, ischemic stroke, transient ischemic attack, pulmonary embolism, non-central nervous system systemic embolism or vascular death) will be assessed based results/films/images of confirmatory testing, and/or case summaries.
