Treatments tested in this trial
Rivaroxaban Oral Tablet
DrugFor 12months, Rivaroxaban oral tablet 20mg once daily For renal disorder subjects\_creatinine clearance 15-49 mL/min, 15mg once daily

Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
The event rate of the composite of cardiac death, valve thrombosis, valve-related thromboembolic event, major bleeding, and clinically-relevant non-major bleeding
A composite endpoint is an endpoint that is a combination of multiple clinical endpoints. An event that is considered to have occurred if any one of several different events is observed. Clinically-relevant non-major bleeding is defined as BARC(Bleeding Academic Research Consortium) 2 Bleeding and major Bleeding is defined as BARC(Bleeding Academic Research Consortium) 3 or 5 Bleeding.
Secondary outcomes
The event rate of all cause death
The event rate of cardiovascular death
The event rate of valve thrombosis confirmed by transthoracic echocardiography, transesophageal echocardiography, cine fluoroscopy, computed tomography, or autopsy (Valve Academic Research Consortium (VARC ) criteria)
The event rate of valve-related thromboembolic event
