Highlights • Rivaroxaban does not have FDA approval for use in non-
valvular atrial fibrillation in patients with ESRD.
• There has been increased off-label use of rivaroxaban in
this population.
• We present a case of hemorrhagic pericardial tamponade
with rivaroxaban use in a patient with NVAF and ESRD.
• We recommend a thorough risk-benefit analysis before
the choice of anticoagulant in this patient population.
To the Editor, Approximately 12% of patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) have creatinine clearance
