METHODS We compared the efficacy and safety of rivaroxaban (at a daily dose of 15 mg) with aspirin (at a daily dose of 100 mg) for the prevention of recurrent stroke in patients with recent ischemic stroke that was presumed to be from cerebral embolism but without arterial stenosis, lacune, or an identified cardioembolic source. The pri mary efficacy outcome was the first recurrence of ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke or systemic embolism in a timetoevent analysis; the primary safety outcome was the rate of major bleeding.
