In the conclusion of the council of experts (list of participants see text) the following issues are discussed: regional specifics of diagnostics and therapy of patients with ischemic heart disease (IHD) and / or peripheral arterial disease (PAD), methods of risk assessment in patients with stable course of atherosclerotic disease, pathogenetic validity of simultaneous inhibition of coagulation and platelet thrombus formation, as well as clinical significance of a novel therapeutic approach – combined use of rivaroxaban and acetylsalicylic acid (ASA). Possible problems and ways to their solution at implementation in clinical practice of the novel scheme of antithrombotic therapy are presented. Importance of multidisciplinary approach to management of patients with IHD and concomitant diseases is stressed. Experts have noted that after registration of the corresponding indication therapy with rivaroxaban 2.5 mg twice daily and ASA 75–100 mg once daily might be recommended to majority of patients with atherosclerotic involvement of blood vessels. In real clinical practice prescription of this therapy is appropriate first of all in patients with IHD and high risk of complications – with multifocal atherosclerosis, with history of myocardial infarction after stoppage of dual antiplatelet therapy, – patients with concomitant diabetes, heart failure, and other prognosis worsening comorbid diseases. Experts express hope that in the nearest time combined antithrombotic therapy will be included into corresponding national clinical recommendations.
