NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J., April 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Johnson & Johnson announced today a new analysis of data from the PIONEER AF-PCI clinical trial demonstrating that XARELTO® (rivaroxaban) was associated with a reduced risk of clinically significant bleeding (CSB), and net adverse clinical events (NACE; a composite of clinically significant bleeding [CSB] or major adverse cardiovascular event [MACE]) or rehospitalization compared to warfarin among both elderly and non-elderly patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (AF) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), a nonsurgical procedure designed to relieve narrowing or occlusion of the coronary artery.1,2 These data were featured in an oral presentation today at the American College of Cardiology 73rd Annual Scientific Session & Expo (ACC.24) in Atlanta, Georgia (Abstract #906-04).

Key Points: 
  • "Despite advances in cardiovascular care, patients with nonvalvular AF continue to be at risk of potentially life-threatening cardiovascular events, especially older patients considered difficult to treat due to multiple factors, including age and co-morbidities," said C. Michael Gibson*, M.D., CEO, of the nonprofit Baim Institute and professor of Medicine, Harvard Medical School.
  • "A significant challenge in managing nonvalvular AF in older individuals undergoing PCI is determining a treatment that balances the prevention of stroke with the risk for bleeding.
  • Results from the PIONEER AF-PCI trial reinforce the need to continue to research this complex and fragile elderly patient population."
  • "With this new exploratory analysis at ACC.24, we're pleased to bring the latest research to healthcare providers that adds to the growing body of clinical evidence in older adults."
