A case series of direct oral anticoagulants use in post-infarction left ventricular thrombus

الملخص EN

Left ventricular thrombus (LVT) is a known complication of acute myocardial infarction (AMI).

Vitamin K antagonists such as Warfarin showed a reduction in associated mortality and morbidity and are indicated as anticoagulants of choice in current guidelines.

Since their approval for clinical use, there has been a dramatic increase in off-label use of direct oral anti-coagulants (DOAC) for LVT.

In this case series, the authors share their successful experience with DOAC in the treatment of LVT.
