Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Arm 2
Experimental
No Intervention
Aspirin®
Control group
To show if a combination therapy of rivaroxaban plus Aspirin® is more efficient (superiority testing) as rivaroxaban alone in the prevention of early venous stent thrombosis in patients suffering from post-thrombotic syndrome in the first 6 months following endovascular therapy. To demonstrate tolerability of combination therapy of Aspirin® plus rivaroxaban in long-term treatment.
Observational study of standard of care anticoagulation (rivarobaban dosis defined in the clinical routine).
