Dabigatran for Prevention of Stroke after Embolic Stroke of Undetermined Source
NEJM 380:1906-1917, Diener, H.C.,et al, 2019
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
In patients with a recent history of embolic stroke of undetermined source, dabigatran was not superior to aspirin in preventing recurrent stroke. The incidence of major bleeding was not greater in the dabigatran group than in the aspirin group, but there were more clinically relevant nonmajor bleeding events in the dabigatran group.
