Title: A Phase III, Randomised, Multicenter, Double-blind, Parallel-group, Active Controlled Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Oral Dabigatran Etexilate (150 mg Bid) Compared to Warfarin (INR 2.0-3.0) for the Secondary Prevention of Venous Thromboembolism.
Brief Summary: The general aim of this study is to determine the comparative safety and efficacy of dabigatran etexilate administered orally and warfarin (International Normalized Ratio (INR) of 2.0-3.0) for the long-term treatment and secondary prevention of symptomatic venous thromboembolism in patients who have been successfully treated with standard doses of an approved anticoagulant for three to twelve months for confirmed acute symptomatic Venous Thrombo-embolism.


Options:
A: Inclusion Criteria:

* Patients with confirmed symptomatic PE or DVT who have been treated for 6 or 12 months with VKA or rivaroxaban

Exclusion Criteria:

* Legal lower age limitations (country specific)
* Indication for VKA other than DVT and/or PE
* Patients in whom anticoagulant treatment for their index PE or DVT should be continued
* Childbearing potential without proper contraceptive measures, pregnancy or breast feeding. Proper contraceptive measures are defined as a method of contraception with a failure rate \< 1 % during the course of the study (including the observational period). These methods of contraception according to the note for guidance on non-clinical safety studies for the conduct of human trials for pharmaceuticals (CPMP \[Committee for Proprietary Medicinal Products\]/ICH \[International Conference on Harmonization\]/286/95, modification) include consistent and correct use of hormone containing implants and injectables, combined oral contraceptives, hormone containing intrauterine devices, surgical sterilization, sexual abstinence and vasectomy
B: Inclusion Criteria:

* Patients with a first episode of idiopathic pulmonary embolism who have been treated during 6 months (Plus 30 days or minus 15 days) using Vitamin K antagonist with a INR between 2 and 3.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Age \< 18
* warfarin hypersensibility
* unwilling or unable to give written informed consent
* distal or proximal deep vein thrombosis
* Pulmonary embolism which was provoked by a reversible major risk factor
* major thrombophilia (protein C, S or antithrombin deficiency, antiphospholipids antibodies, homozygous factor V Leiden)
* previous documented episode of proximal deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism
* other indication for anticoagulant therapy (e.g.:atrial fibrillation, mechanic valve)
* patient on antithrombotic agent in whom antithrombotic agent should be started again after stopping anticoagulation
* pregnancy
* women without contraception
* planned major surgery in the next 18 months
* ongoing cancer or cured cancer in less than 2 years
* serious bleeding risk (e.g.: gastric ulcer)
* platelet count less than 100 Giga/l
* Life expectancy less than 18 months
C: Inclusion Criteria:

* first episode of symptomatic, objectively confirmed idiopathic proximal deep vein thrombosis and/or pulmonary embolism;
* initial treatment with unfractionated heparin or low-molecular-weight heparin (or effective alternative) followed by a vitamin K antagonist (target INR 2.0-3.0). All patients will receive 6 or 12 months of oral anticoagulant treatment. Patients initially treated with thrombolytic therapy who received warfarin therapy are eligible for inclusion.

Exclusion Criteria:

* permanent risk factors for venous thromboembolism: patients known to have antiphospholipid antibodies or lupus anticoagulant (based on local laboratory criteria) or to have homozygous factor V Leiden or homozygous prothrombin G21210A or heterozygous factor V Leiden plus heterozygous prothrombin G21210A or antithrombin III deficiency; patients with active malignancy
* temporary risk factors for venous thromboembolism
* any recurrence of venous thromboembolism or bleeding episode during the established 6-month period of oral anticoagulant treatment
* allergy or intolerance of aspirin
* clear indication for aspirin or other anti-platelet therapy (e.g. clopidogrel, ticlopidine)
* clear indication for long-term anticoagulant therapy (e.g. recurrent idiopathic venous thromboembolism, prosthetic heart valve)
* treatment with non-selective COX-1/2 non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs
* life expectancy less than 6 months
* active bleeding or at high risk of bleeding (gastrointestinal bleeding within the past 12 months; endoscopic diagnosis of peptic ulcer disease or ulcerative esophagitis within the past 6 months unless there is documented endoscopic evidence of healing; intracranial bleeding within the past year; known bleeding diathesis)
* anticipated non-adherence to study medications
* inability to attend follow up because of geographic inaccessibility
* failure to provide informed consent
D: Inclusion criteria:

Inclusion_Criteria

* Acute symptomatic deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
* Pulmonary embolism (PE) 3-12 months prior to screening, which has been documented by objective testing

Exclusion criteria:

Exclusion_Criteria

* Symptomatic DVT or PE at screening Interruption of anticoagulant therapy for 2 or more weeks during the 3-12 months of treatment for the prior VTE.
* Patients who in the investigators judgement are perceived as having an excessive risk of bleeding Elevated Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) or Alanine tranminase (ALT) \> 2x ULN
* Severe renal impairment (estimated creatinine clearance \<= 30 ml/min)
