Patients with acute cerebral venous or dural sinus thrombosis after 5\u201315 days of treatment with parenteral heparin are randomized to either dabigatran etexilate 150\u00a0mg twice daily or dose-adjusted (international normalized ratio 2\u20133) warfarin (\u226424 weeks). <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Study outcome<\/jats:title><jats:p> The primary endpoint is a composite of patients with new venous thrombotic event (recurring cerebral venous or dural sinus thrombosis, deep venous thrombosis of any limb, pulmonary embolism, and major bleeding (International Society on Thrombosis and Hemostasis definition)) during the treatment period.
