About this trial
DIAMOND study is a national, multicentre, randomized, parallel-group, open label study in patients (aged ≥18 years) with aortic bioprosthesis (excluding TAVI) at least 7 days after cardiac surgery.
Experimental group:
Patients treated with apixaban 5 mg twice daily (BID)
Active Comparator group:
Aspirin 75 to 100mg once a day
The primary objective is to demonstrate that antithrombotic treatment with apixaban is superior to aspirin in patients with recent surgical bioprosthetic aortic valve replacement for the primary composite efficacy endpoint of death from any cause, myocardial infarction, stroke, systemic embolism, deep vein thrombosis, or pulmonary embolism and valve thrombosis after 105 days of follow-up.

Patients affiliated to social security
Disqualifiers
Any cardiac surgery less than 7 days prior to enrollment or more than 1 month
Mechanical valve in any position or combined valve surgery (mitral or tricuspid).
Any major bleeding in the three months (90 days) prior to enrollment.
