Recruitment Details
Key information relevant to the recruitment process for the overall study, such as dates of the recruitment period and locations
Participants were randomized at 37 sites in 5 countries.

Pre-Assignment Details
Significant events and approaches for the overall study following participant enrollment, but prior to group assignment
248 participants were randomized correctly to study, with an equal number of participants randomized to both treatment arms. The intention to treat (ITT) analysis set includes all participants who were correctly randomized into study. There are 5 screen failures who were not included in ITT analysis set because they were incorrectly randomized.

Reporting Groups
  Description
Rivaroxaban Participants were received Rivaroxaban 20 milligram (mg) orally once-daily administered preferably with the evening meal for 8-10 weeks.
Vitamin K Antagonist Participants were received dose-adjusted vitamin K antagonist (VKA) to achieve a recommended International Normalized Ratio (INR) of 2.0 to 3.0 for 8-10 weeks.
