Overview

This trial is a multinational, multicenter, randomized, open-label, active-controlled clinical trial comparing the safety of aspirin versus vitamin K antagonists (warfarin) as oral antithrombotic therapy during the initial 6 months following tissue valve replacement (aortic or mitral).

Interventions

  • Drug Aspirin
    100mg 1 tablet once daily for 6 months
  • Drug Vitamin K antagonist(warfarin)
    Maintain an INR(International Normalized Ratio) of 2.0 to 3.0 for 6 months

Primary outcome measures

  • A composite endpoint is defined as a single outcome that combines multiple clinical events; the occurrence of any one of the component events is considered as meeting the endpoint. [Time frame: From registration to 6 months]
Secondary outcome measures (7)
  • Rate of all-cause mortality within 6 months [Time frame: From registration to 6 months]
  • Number of participants who experienced stroke within 6 months [Time frame: From registration to 6 months]
  • Number of participants who experienced transient ischemic attack within 6 months [Time frame: From registration to 6 months]
  • Number of participants who experienced systemic embolism within 6 months [Time frame: From registration to 6 months]
  • Number of participants who experienced myocardial infarction within 6 months [Time frame: From registration to 6 months]
  • Number of participants who experienced major bleeding within 6 months [Time frame: From registration to 6 months]
  • Number of participants with valve thrombosis at 6 months [Time frame: From registration to 6 months]

Eligibility criteria

Inclusion criteria

  • Aged ≥ 19 years with successful surgical bioprosthetic valve replacement
  • Bioprosthetic heart valve in aortic or mitral valve positions, for a day postoperatively
  • The patient or guardian agrees to the study protocol and the schedule of clinical follow-up, and provides informed, written consent, as approved by the appropriate Institutional Review Board/Ethical Committee of the respective clinical site.

Exclusion criteria

  • Mechanical valve in any heart valve position
  • Previous hemorrhagic stroke within the last 3 months
  • Clinically overt stroke within the last 3 months
  • Current need for anticoagulation (i.e. atrial fibrillation, deep vein thrombosis)
  • Unstable postoperative conditions at index point (i.e. requirement mechanical hemodynamic support, disabling complications, stroke \[ischemic, embolic\], hemorrhagic stroke)
  • Hypersensitivity to the main component or constituents of aspirin or vitamin K antagonist
  • Pregnant or lactating women
