Apixaban in Patients Who Undergo CIED Procedure- Randomized Pilot Study (Apixaban)

January 14, 2016 updated by: Yong-Mei Cha, Mayo Clinic

Evaluate the Safety of Apixaban in Patients Who Undergo Cardiovascular Implantable Electronic Device (CIED) Procedure: A Randomized Pilot Study

This study is being done to determine if apixaban is more safe, when compared to warfarin, at reducing the risk of bleeding during CIED procedures.

  • Masking: None (Open Label)

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Active Comparator: Apixaban
30 participants prescribed Apixaban 3-14 days before and 28 days after CIED procedure.
Anticoagulant agent for Atrial Fibrillation and undergo CIED generator change
Other Names:
