The US FDA has approved an expanded peripheral artery disease (PAD) indication for the direct oral anticoagulant rivaroxaban to include patients who have undergone recent lower-extremity revascularization due to symptomatic PAD. The approved regimen in this patient population is rivaroxaban 2.5 mg twice daily with aspirin 100 mg once daily. Rivaroxaban with aspirin is the first and only treatment indicated for both coronary artery disease (CAD) and PAD.
