National, multicenter, prospective, observational, non-interventional study. The objective is to determine if the switch from Vitamin K antagonists (VKA) to Xarelto in subjects treated with VKA with issues in deep venous thrombosis (DVT), and prevention of recurrent DVT and pulmonary embolism (PE) is associated with an improvement of the treatment satisfaction after 3 months. The treatment satisfaction will be measured by the Anti Clot Treatment Scale (ACTS) score.
