Conclusion
Some 3396 patients who completed their initial anticoagulation were randomized to aspirin or rivaroxaban for a further twelve months. Recurrent symptomatic venous thromboembolism was more common in patients on aspirin: 4.4 versus 1.5 per cent on 20mg and 1.2 per cent on 10mg rivaroxaban (P<0.001 for both doses). Major bleeding rates were similar.
