Key result
Rivaroxaban successfully resolved a large left ventricular thrombus within 30 days of treatment.
Why the study?
Does rivaroxaban improve thrombus resolution in patients with left ventricular thrombi?
Does rivaroxaban improve thrombus resolution in patients with left ventricular thrombi?
Rivaroxaban may be an effective treatment option for resolving left ventricular thrombi, though further randomized trials are needed to establish optimal dosing and timing.
May support rivaroxaban for LV thrombus resolution in select cases; leaves open efficacy, dosing, and timing pending randomized trials.
•Rivaroxaban may be used in the treatment of LV thrombi.•Thrombus resolution took 30 days.•A large-scale randomized trial is needed to evaluate the use of DOACs in LV thrombi.•It is necessary to define the optimal dosing and timing if combined with DAPT.
