Résumé

Anticoagulant therapy with vitamin K antagonists is recommended within 3 to 6 months after bioprosthetic valve replacement to prevent thromboembolic events. However, data regarding whether direct oral anticoagulants can be an alternative to warfarin in such patients are limited. The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of edoxaban versus warfarin within 3 months after bioprosthetic valve replacement. The ENBALV trial is an investigator-initiated, phase 3, randomized, open-label, multicenter study. It involves patients aged 18 to 85 years undergoing bioprosthetic valve replacement at the aortic and/or mitral position. They are randomized 1:1 to receive either edoxaban or warfarin. Administration of edoxaban or warfarin is to be continued for 12 weeks after surgery. The primary outcome is the occurrence rate of stroke or systemic embolism at 12 weeks after surgery. The net clinical outcome is a composite of stroke, systemic embolism, or major bleeding, which is included in the secondary outcomes. The ENBALV trial demonstrates the efficacy and safety of edoxaban compared with warfarin in patients early after bioprosthetic valve replacement, including patients with sinus rhythm, which will bring a significant benefit to patients in clinical practice.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE OBJECTIVE
Anticoagulant therapy with vitamin K antagonists is recommended within 3 to 6 months after bioprosthetic valve replacement to prevent thromboembolic events. However, data regarding whether direct oral anticoagulants can be an alternative to warfarin in such patients are limited. The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of edoxaban versus warfarin within 3 months after bioprosthetic valve replacement.
METHODS METHODS
The ENBALV trial is an investigator-initiated, phase 3, randomized, open-label, multicenter study. It involves patients aged 18 to 85 years undergoing bioprosthetic valve replacement at the aortic and/or mitral position. They are randomized 1:1 to receive either edoxaban or warfarin. Administration of edoxaban or warfarin is to be continued for 12 weeks after surgery. The primary outcome is the occurrence rate of stroke or systemic embolism at 12 weeks after surgery. The net clinical outcome is a composite of stroke, systemic embolism, or major bleeding, which is included in the secondary outcomes.
CONCLUSION CONCLUSIONS
The ENBALV trial demonstrates the efficacy and safety of edoxaban compared with warfarin in patients early after bioprosthetic valve replacement, including patients with sinus rhythm, which will bring a significant benefit to patients in clinical practice.
