Dr Cecilia Low Wang (Colorado Prevention Center, US) discusses the findings from the VOYAGER PAD - rivaroxaban in symptomatic PAD with and without comorbid diabetes study. The study assessed the efficacy and safety of rivaroxaban in patients with PAD with concomitant diabetes after lower extremity revascularization.
The study presented at ESC Congress 2021 showed that the efficacy of rivaroxaban 2.5 mg BID was consistent regardless of DM status at baseline, however a higher rate of discontinuation among these patients may have attenuated the observed benefit (ITT).
