A left atrial appendage thrombus that developed during prophylactic low‐dose dabigatran treatment resolved after switching to apixaban

We describe a case of atrial fibrillation in which an intracardiac thrombus that could not be prevented with “low‐dose” dabigatran treatment was resolved by switching to apixaban treatment. Thrombolysis using direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) could be a therapeutic option for patients with intracar...

description We describe a case of atrial fibrillation in which an intracardiac thrombus that could not be prevented with “low‐dose” dabigatran treatment was resolved by switching to apixaban treatment. Thrombolysis using direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) could be a therapeutic option for patients with intracardiac thrombi, although the efficacies of different DOACs seem to differ and need further examination.
