Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The main objective of the study will determine if patients with liver cirrhosis, anticoagulation free survival improves hypertension decompensation portal and / or transplantation without serious side effects. For it is conduct a double-blind multicenter clinical trial in which patients will be randomized to receive Rivaroxaban or placebo. It included 160 patients with liver cirrhosis and insufficiency mild to moderate hepatic. It will also analyze and develop secondary endpoint portal vein thrombosis. The confirmation of our hypothesis would lead to a radical change in treatment of patients with cirrhosis include treatment with Rivaroxaban in its drove.
