Although there are abundant data highlighting the safety and efficacy of direct oral anticoagulants, to date, recent guidelines have limited their use to stroke prevention in patients with non-valvular AF, as well as in the prevention and treatment of venous thromboembolism and pulmonary embolism. Encouraging data about the off-label use of direct oral anticoagulants have been shown in several other indications, such as intracardiac thrombi, left ventricular thrombi and left atrial appendage, but a large sector of patients are still not addressed, such as valvular and prosthetic patients.

Left ventricular thrombus (LVT) is a known complication of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Vitamin K antagonists such as Warfarin showed a reduction in associated mortality and morbidity and are indicated as anticoagulants of choice in current guidelines. Since their approval for clinical use, there has been a dramatic increase in off-label use of direct oral anti-coagulants (DOAC) for LVT. In this case series, the authors share their successful experience with DOAC in the treatment of LVT.
