ACC.18
The primary efficacy outcome was the combined rate of death from a cardiovascular cause, heart attack, stroke due to inadequate blood supply, blood clots or amputation due to cardiovascular disease.
AHA 2017 Scientific Sessions
End-stage renal disease patients on dialysis with atrial fibrillation are at high risk for thrombotic complications.

AAN 2016 Cerebrovascular Disease

American College of Cardiology 2013
At ACC.13, the American College of Cardiology's 62nd Annual Scientific Session, Anil Rajendra, MD, from the Medical University of South Carolina, in Charleston, SC, presented data showing similar bleeding and thrombotic complication rates at the time of atrial fibrillation ablation (AFA) in patients anticoagulated with dabigatran and rivaroxaban. Dr. Rajendra and colleagues determined that rivaroxaban has an acceptable safety profile for AFA.
