Direct oral anticoagulants to treat left ventricular thrombus-A systematic review and meta-analysis: ELECTRAM investigators.

Our study demonstrates no significant difference in SEE, major bleeding, or failure of LV thrombus resolution between the two groups, thus demonstrating that DOACs are an efficacious and safe alternative for the treatment of LV thrombus compared to VKAs. However, further well-designed prospective trials are needed to answer important clinical questions-optimal dosing/duration of DOACs and its safety in the background of antiplatelet therapy.
