Abstract
Rivaroxaban is a direct inhibitor of activated factor X, and dabigatran is a direct inhibitor of thrombin. These new oral anticoagulants have demonstrated to be effective and safe in clinical trials on the treatment of venous thromboembolic disease (deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary thromboembolism).
