Rivaroxaban in Combination With Aspirin Alone or With Aspirin and a Thienopyridine in Patients With Acute Coronary Syndromes (The ATLAS ACS TIMI 46 Trial)

Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of rivaroxaban in patients with recent acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and to assess the ability of rivaroxaban to reduce the occurrence of death, myocardial infarction (heart attack), repeat myocardial infarctions, stroke, and ischemia (inadequate blood supply to a local area) in patients with recent ACS.
