Abstract

Patients with lower extremity peripheral artery disease are at increased risk of major adverse cardiovascular events and major adverse limb events. The combination of rivaroxaban 2.5 mg twice daily and acetylsalicylic acid significantly lowered the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events, major adverse limb events and the related complications, and this combination should be considered as an important therapy for patients with peripheral artery disease.
