Incidence of intracardiac thrombus formation prior to electrical cardioversion in respect to the mode of oral anticoagulation.

NOAC therapy seems favorable in the overall prevention of ICT, although this is likely to be caused by suboptimal VKA therapy control and differences in the overall health status between VKA and NOAC patients. ICT occurred even with effective OAC therapy suggesting individual TEE-guided cardioversion in patients at risk.
