Meta-analysis of direct oral anticoagulants compared with vitamin K antagonist for left ventricle thrombus.
The use of direct oral anticoagulants (DOAC) in preference to vitamin K antagonists (VKA) as a treatment of left ventricle (LV) thrombus is controversial. ⋯ In this pooled analysis, outcomes in patients on DOAC were comparable to VKA. The hypothesis generated could suggest DOAC could be used interchangeably with VKA in patients with LV thrombus. Randomized trials are needed for generalization of results.
