Does anticoagulation combined with antiplatelet therapy reduce embolic events without increasing bleeding in patients with first AMI complicated by LV thrombus?
In patients with a first AMI complicated by LV thrombus, combining anticoagulation with antiplatelet therapy may reduce embolic events without increasing bleeding risk.
Appropriate anticoagulation therapy may decrease the incidence of embolic events without increasing the incidence of bleeding events in patients with first AMI complicated by LV thrombus.
Maniwa et al. (2017) studied this question.
