About this study
Official title: Post-Marketing Database Study for Rivaroxaban in Patients With PAD After Lower Limb Revascularization.
This is an observational study in which data already collected from people with peripheral arterial diseases (PAD) who had a surgery to improve blood flow to their legs are studied.
The study is conducted to check the safety of rivaroxaban after it is approved and available in Japan.

In observational studies, only observations are made without participants receiving any advice or changes to healthcare.
PAD is a condition where blood flow is reduced in the arteries of the legs and arms. This can cause pain, numbness, or weakness in the legs, and increases the risk of heart attack and other heart-related problems. People with PAD may undergo surgery to improve blood flow to their legs, in which doctors use a thin tube to open a narrow or blocked blood vessel in the legs.
The study drug, rivaroxaban, is already approved for doctors to prescribe to people with PAD. It works by blocking a protein that causes blood clots, helping to prevent clot formation and improving blood flow.
The participants in this study are already receiving treatment with rivaroxaban 2.5 milligrams (mg) as part of their regular care from their doctors.
There have been studies in which researchers studied the effect and safety of rivaroxaban in participants with PAD who had a surgery to improve blood flow to their legs. However, these studies included only a small number of Japanese participants. In this study, researchers will specifically gather data from Japanese participants to further understand the safety of rivaroxaban.
The main purpose of the study is to learn more about the safety of rivaroxaban 2.5 mg in Japanese participants with PAD who had a surgery to improve blood flow to their legs.
To do this, researchers will collect information about:
- any bleeding event participants have had during their treatment with rivaroxaban
- the participants who died due to the heart and blood flow related problems while receiving rivaroxaban, compared to those who did not receive it
The data will come from electronic healthcare records for people in Japan who had a surgery to improve blood flow to their legs and were diagnosed with PAD between October 2021 to September 2025.
In this study, only available data from routine care are collected. No visits or tests are required as part of this study.

Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Japan. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Hemorrhage requiring for blood transfusion (time frame: Retrospective analysis from 01-OCT-2021 to 30-SEPT-2025). The study lists 7 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
