Faxtor Xa Inhibitors Versus Vitamin K Antagonists for Preventing Cerebral or Systemic Embolism in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation
Stroke 44:e165-e167, Bruins, K.M.H., & Berge, E., 2013
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Factor Xa inhibitors significantly reduced the number of strokes and systemic embolic events compared with warfarin in patients with AF. Factor Xa inhibitors also reduced the number of major bleedings and ICHs compared with warfarin, but the reduction in major bleedings was not statistically significant, and the quality of the evidence was lower because of the observed heterogeneity.
