Abstract
Vascular Thromboembolism (VTE) is seen with hypercoagulable state and it can be a reason of significant morbidity and mortality. Cancer is considered as one of the most common causes of hypercoagulability and developing VTE. Since novel oral anticoagulants (NOAC) have been introduced in market for VTE prophylaxis and treatment, their use have been increased significantly as they are easy to use without episodic monitoring. Rivaroxaban is one of the commonly used NOACs and some of studies have shown its good efficacy for VTE.
