Brief Summary

Venous thromboembolism (VTE) has a high prevalence in patients with multiple comorbidities undergoing complex surgical procedures. Sometimes, extended prophylaxis for VTE with KLMWH or direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) is necessary. Currently, there is no consensus in the literature regarding the use of DOACs for extended VTE prophylaxis in patients undergoing lower limb revascularization (LLR). Objective: To evaluate the use of DOACs (already approved to reduce MACE and MALE) in VTE prophylaxis in patients undergoing LLR.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Be adults of any age and gender. 2. Have critical limb ischemia with a proposed revascularization treatment (either via ATP or bypass surgery) at the Vascular Surgery Service of HC/EBSERH - UFPE. 3. Sign the informed consent form (ICF) (Appendix 2). Exclusion Criteria: 1. Experience a symptomatic VTE event during hospitalization, as they will require full anticoagulation rather than prophylactic anticoagulation. 2. Have any contraindications to Rivaroxaban. 3. Do not return for the 30-day postoperative follow-up visit.
