What are the effects of anticoagulants, surgical removal, and antiplatelet agents on left ventricular thrombus and subsequent thrombo-embolism?
Studies have shown that anticoagulants, such as dabigatran, rivaroxaban, and apixaban, can be effective in resolving left ventricular thrombus and preventing subsequent thrombo-embolism. In addition, surgical removal of the thrombus can be an option in some cases. Finally, antiplatelet agents, such as aspirin, clopidogrel, and ticagrelor, can help reduce the risk of thrombo-embolism by preventing the formation of new thrombi.
