Rivaroxaban Estimation With Warfarin in Atrial Fibrillation Patients With Coronary Stent Implantation Study (REWRAPS)

Plain-language summary
Antiplatelet therapy is indispensable for the prevention of stent thrombosis in patients who underwent coronary artery stenting. Similarly, anticoagulant therapy is essential for the prevention of cardiogenic embolism including cerebral infarction in AF patients. However, the combined antithrombotic therapy has been reported to increase the risk of major bleeding for AF patients after coronary stenting, New anticoagulant drugs that hardly interact with other drugs and do not need frequent blood tests have become commonly used. The purpose of this study is to assess the hypothesis that Rivaroxaban is non-inferior to Warfarin in the efficacy and safety for AF patients after coronary stenting

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
Clinically stable atrial fibrillation (AF) patients who underwent coronary artery stenting more than one year ago and are treated or are scheduled to be treated with anticoagulant drug (regardless of the type of stents and AF).
Those who are willing to cooperate with us in the study. Those who can sign the informed consent document that is approved by the ethics committee of the medical institution participating in the study.
Exclusion Criteria:
Those in whom the package inserts state anticoagulant drugs are contraindicated for use Those who are scheduled to undergo percutaneous coronary intervention or catheter ablation for AF. Those who have to continuously undergo dual antiplatelet due to a past history of stent thrombosis during the distant stage after stenting. Those who have undergone prosthetic valve replacement for valvular disease. Those who the physician in charge judges are ineligible for the study due to serious pathological conditions. Those who are not willing to participate in the study.
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
