Brief Summary:

In patients with atrial fibrillation thought to be unsuitable candidates for anticoagulation with a vitamin K antagonist, apixaban signficantly reduced the risk of stroke and systemic embolism without increasing the risk of major bleeding or intracranial hemorrhage when compared to aspirin.
