In summary, rivaroxaban 1 is an oral direct factor Xa inhibitor and is the first approved factor Xa inhibitor on the European and Canadian market. This class of inhibitors is expected to expand, with new members currently in late-stage clinical development. Rivaroxaban is indicated for the prevention of venous thromboembolic events in patients who have undergone elective total hip or total knee replacement surgery. Rivarobaxan was underwent extensive clinical program that included three Phase III trials of rivaroxaban involving a total of nearly 12,000 patients. The results from these three studies demonstrated the superior efficacy of the factor Xa inhibitor, both in head-to-head comparisons with enoxaparin and when comparing extended-duration (5 weeks) rivaroxaban with short-duration (2 weeks) enoxaparin. In all three...

Fondaparinux is a selective inhibitor factor Xa possessing a selective inhibition of antithrombin III (ATIII), which potentiates the innate neutralization of factor Xa by ATIII. Nentralization of factor Xa interrupts the blood coagulation cascade and inhibits thrombin formation and thrombus development. It is indicated for prophylaxis of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) that may lead to pulmonary embolism in patients undergoing hip fracture surgery including extended prophylaxis, hip replacement surgery, or knee replacement surgery. When administered in conjunction with warfarin, fondaparinux is indicated for treatment of acute DVT and acute pulmonary embolism. 

The LMWHs are used to prevent DVT after certain surgical procedures, such as hip or knee replacement surgery or abdominal surgery. The dru are also used for ischemic complications of unstable angina and MI (for siDecific uses of each drug see tlie Summary Drug Table Anticoagulants). 

Fondaparinux is the first selective factor Xa inhibitor that is approved for the prophylaxis of DVT, which may occur in patients undergoing hip fracture surgery or hip or knee replacement surgery...
