Inclusion Criteria

Have a clinical diagnosis of the antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) and a history of venous thrombosis only (excluding arterial thrombosis as recommended by the Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB)) for which the patient is receiving anticoagulation therapy for the prevention of recurrent thrombosis;
1. Anticoagulation is defined as warfarin sodium titrated at the discretion of the clinician to a target INR (International Normalized Ratio) 2.5 (range 2-3), 3.0 (range 2.5-3.5), or 3.5 (range 3-4).
3. Able to undergo magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain;
4. Have completed at least 6 months of anticoagulation for the indication of venous thrombosis and be without symptoms or signs consistent with acute thrombosis for a minimum of 6 months;
5. Be willing to provide informed consent to contact the subjects anticoagulation provider for INRs and dosing as well as details regarding any adverse events;
