What are the possible treatments for left ventricular thrombus?
The possible treatments for left ventricular thrombus include anticoagulant medications such as apixaban, low molecular weight heparins, and device closure of patent foramen ovale. Apixaban is the most commonly used anticoagulant for this condition, and its efficacy has been demonstrated in a successful case report involving a patient with acute myocardial infarction. Low molecular weight heparins have also been successful in treating this condition, although their efficacy is less well-established. Device closure of patent foramen ovale is another possible treatment for left ventricular thrombus, and its efficacy has been demonstrated in a pooled analysis of completed randomized trials.
