Low molecular weight heparin is the most commonly used agent but requires patients to be trained to self-inject and is expensive. Rivaroxaban is an oral daily formulation approved for VTE prophylaxis after orthopedic surgery. Efficacy and safety of rivaroxaban has been confirmed in major gastrointestinal resections by several observational studies. We report a single centre experience of using rivaroxaban as an agent for VTE prophylaxis in bariatric surgery. MethodsWe performed prospective cohort study assessing safety and efficacy of rivaroxaban as a medication for VTE prophylaxis in patients undergoing bariatric surgery in a single centre in Kyiv, Ukraine. Patients undergoing major bariatric procedure received perioperative prophylaxis of VTE with subcutaneous low molecular weight heparin and then were switched to rivaroxaban for total of 30 days starting on the 4th postoperative day. Thromboprophylaxis was performed in accordance with the VTE risks derived from the Caprini score. On the 3rd, 30th, 60th day after the operation, the patients underwent ultrasound examination of the portal vein, as well as the veins of the lower extremities. Telephone interviews were conducted 30 and 60 days after the surgery to evaluate the presence of complaints which may be characteristic for VTE as well as to assess compliance with the regimen and to assess patient satisfaction. Outcomes studies were incidence of VTE and adverse events related to rivaroxaban administration.Results110 patients were included in the study from July 2019 to May 2021. The average age of the patients was 43.6 years, the average preoperative BMI was 55 (35 to 75). One hundred and seven patients (97.3%) underwent laparoscopic intervention while three patients (2.7%) underwent laparotomy. Eighty-four patients underwent sleeve gastrectomy and twenty-six patients underwent other procedures, including bypass surgery. Average calculated risk of thromboembolic event was 5-6% based on Caprine index. All patients were treated with extended prophylaxis with rivaroxaban. The average follow-up period for patients was 6 months. There were no clinical or radiological evidence of thromboembolic complications in the study cohort. Overall complication rate was 7.2%, however, only one patient (0.9%) developed subcutaneous hematoma associated with rivaroxaban not requiring intervention.
