Arm 2

Arm Type

Experimental

Arm Label

Rivaroxaban

Fondaparinux

Arm Description

Rivaroxaban for 45 days oral dose: 10 mg OD

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Rate of Objectively Confirmed VTE Complications
The primary efficacy outcome was the composite of death from any cause, symptomatic pulmonary embolism (confirmed by ventilation-perfusion scanning, helical computed tomography, pulmonary angiography, or autopsy), symptomatic deep vein thrombosis (confirmed by ultrasonography or venography), or symptomatic extension towards the saphenofemoral junction or symptomatic recurrence of superficial vein thrombosis (confirmed by ultrasonography) up to day 45.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Composite Primary Efficacy Outcome
For this, secondary efficacy outcomes were the composite primary efficacy outcome up to Day 90 and the following outcomes up to Day 45 and Day 90: each component of the primary efficacy outcome, the rate of major VTE (composite of symptomatic pulmonary embolism or symptomatic proximal DVT or VTE-related death) and the rates of surgery for SVT.
Rate of Major VTE
composite of: symptomatic pulmonary embolism symptomatic proximal DVT VTE-related death
Rates of Surgery for SVT
