What are the effects of anticoagulation, surgical removal, and antiplatelet agents on left ventricular thrombus?
Research has indicated that anticoagulation, surgical removal, and antiplatelet agents can be effective in treating left ventricular thrombus. Studies have shown that anticoagulation with drugs such as dabigatran, rivaroxaban, and apixaban can help to resolve left ventricular thrombus. Additionally, surgical removal of the thrombus has been shown to be effective in some cases. Antiplatelet agents such as aspirin and clopidogrel can also be effective in treating left ventricular thrombus, however, the effectiveness of these agents varies depending on the individual patient. It is important to discuss the risks and benefits of these treatments with a doctor before making any decisions.
