Explore the Efficacy and Safety of edoxabaN in Patients After Heart Valve Repair or Bioprosthetic vaLve Replacement (ENAVLE Trial)

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
objectives: The primary aim of ENAVLE is to explore the efficacy of edoxaban in patients with post mitral valve repair or bioprosthetic valve implantation Primary / Secondary Endpoint 1) Efficacy Endpoint Evaluation: Occurrence of thromboembolic events and any thrombus at repaired ring or bioprosthetic valves detected by follow up echocardiography or 3D CT scan 2) Safety Endpoint Evaluation Dysfunction of treated valve caused by thrombosis on echocardiography or 3D CT scan Major or minor bleeding described in safety outcomes

Detailed Description
-----------------
This study is an open labeled, parallel group, and randomization study. At 7 days after mitral valve repair, bioprosthetic MV or AV replacement surgery, warfarin or edoxaban will be started per oral route. All study patients started to receive bridging therapy with parenteral anti-coagulant (UFH) according to local practice before switching to warfarin or edoxaban. Among patients who take warfarin, international normalized ratio will be used to monitor the effectiveness of the anticoagulant warfarin as usual daily practice. All patients who are assigned to VKA group, bridging with warfarin and UFH is mandatory until INR reach therapeutic target range (INR 2-3). Warfarin dose will be adjusted for maintain therapeutic range (INR 2-3) during follow up period. Patients who are randomly assigned to edoxaban group will be received 60mg qd or 30mg qd ( creatinine clearance 30-49ml/min, body weight <60kg or concomitant use of certain P-glycoprotein inhibitors). Both drugs will be maintained for 3 months. During study period, all patients will be carefully monitored for thromboembolic events including valve dysfunction, and stroke or bleeding complication. At 3 months after surgery, 3 dimensional CT scan and echocardiography will be performed for detecting valvular dysfunction, any thrombus or bleeding in heart & lung.
