In this clinical trial evaluation, we revisit the RE-COVER study, a large
multicenter, randomized, double-blind, noninferiority trial on patients with
acute venous thromboembolism treated with dabigatran versus warfarin. Study
design and key results are re-evaluated in the context of previous work and
future perspectives.
