Chemoprophylaxis With Rivaroxaban for Lower Limb Deep Vein Thrombosis in Colorectal Cancer

Summary

The chemoprophylaxis of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) with subcutaneous low-molecular-weight heparin (enoxaparin) in the postoperative period of elective surgeries is already well established in the literature and in clinical practice. However, the use of this medication can have a financial impact on the patient and the parenteral presentation itself is associated with pain at the application site, which can make it difficult for patients to adhere.
