Summary

This study looked at a new combination of two blood thinners (rivaroxaban and ticagrelor) for people with atrial fibrillation who had a heart stent placed. The goal was to see if this combo causes less bleeding than the standard three-drug therapy, while still preventing heart attacks, strokes, and other serious events. Forty participants were followed for one year after their stent procedure.
