          Abstract

          Despite dual antiplatelet therapy, persistent thrombin generation and thrombin-mediated platelet activation account in part for the residual risk of atherothrombotic disease among patients with prior acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Inhibition of thrombin generation among high-risk ACS patients (biomarker-positive ACS) with the factor Xa inhibitor rivaroxaban may limit ongoing thrombus formation and myocardial necrosis and thereby improve clinical outcomes.
