Large Left Ventricular Thrombus as a Cause of Recurrent Cardioembolic Stroke While on Dabigatran.

ABSTRACT: Highlights•LV thrombus can result in systemic embolization and ischemic stroke.•Oral VKA therapy for ?3 months is the recommended treatment of choice.•The role of DOAC therapy in LV thrombus is limited to case reports.•Surgical thrombectomy should be considered in patients with large mobile LV thrombi.

Dabigatran for left ventricular thrombus.

Project description:Male patient in dilated phase of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy had multiple hospitalizations during the past 2 years either due to congestive heart failure, stroke, scar epilepsy, or atrial fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia. Medication included evidence based therapy for heart failure, cordarone and warfarin. Anticoagulation had to be discontinued due to marked fluctuations in INR. Transthoracic Echocardiography (TTE) revealed a mobile mass in the left ventricle. He was treated with Dabigatran 110mg twice a day for 4 months without any bleeding or embolic episode and complete resolution of thrombus. Dabigatran is a reversible direct thrombin inhibitor and currently approved for the prevention of thromboembolic episodes in non-valvar atrial fibrillation. This case demonstrates possible thrombolytic properties of dabigatran in resolution of left ventricular thrombus.

Thrombus formation in left atrium on dabigatran therapy.

Project description:Dabigatran is a direct thrombin inhibitor, approved in the United States for stroke prevention in nonvalvular atrial fibrillation and prevention and treatment of thromboembolism. It has been also used in patients with documented left atrial thrombus, where treatment with dabigatran effectively led to thrombus resolution. We present a rare case of left atrial thrombus formation in a patient with chronic atrial fibrillation being treated with dabigatran 150?mg twice a day. The patient presented with multiple embolic strokes. There are only three such cases reported in the literature till date, all of whom had thrombus in the left atrium. The possible mechanisms of dabigatran failure include compensatory increase in upstream coagulation factors due to single level downstream blockade of thrombin, lack of inhibition of all available thrombin, and lack of monitoring measures that can be implemented in common clinical laboratories that lead to failure to assess adherence, which in turn can lead to dabigatran failure.

Recurrent Left Ventricular Thrombus Formation on Rivaroxaban Therapy in Cardiomyopathy and Liver Cirrhosis.

Project description:Left ventricular (LV) thrombus in patients with reduced LV systolic function carries significant thromboembolic risk. Direct oral anticoagulants are an attractive alternative to warfarin for LV thrombus management. However, there are not enough data regarding the safety and efficacy of direct oral anticoagulants for the treatment of LV thrombus. (Level of Difficulty: Beginner.).

Colossal left ventricular apical thrombus.

Project description:Left ventricular apical thrombus is a known complication following an anterior ST-elevation myocardial infarction. Although left ventriculography may suggest an apical thrombus in the presence of a filling defect, additional imaging with echocardiography and/or cardiac magnetic resonance is strongly recommended to further characterize the thrombus post myocardial infarction.

Left ventricular mass: myxoma or thrombus?

Project description:Patient with embolic episode should always be evaluated for cardiac mass. Mass in left ventricular can be a myxoma or thrombus even in a normal functioning heart. In either case, mobile mass with embolic potential should be surgically resected.

Complete Embolic Protection of the Cerebral Arteries: TAVI Despite Large Left Ventricular Thrombus.

Project description:The presence of a left ventricular (LV) thrombus is considered an absolute contraindication to transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) because of the very high embolic risk. We report a case of TAVI under complete protection of the cerebral arteries in a patient with a large LV thrombus, severely impaired LV function, and no surgical options. (Level of Difficulty: Beginner.).

Left atrial appendage thrombus on full-dose dabigatran treatment: a case report.

Project description:Background:Dabigatran is a direct competitive thrombin inhibitor approved for stroke prevention in non-valvular atrial fibrillation. At full-dose, dabigatran showed similar rates of bleedings and higher efficacy compared to warfarin. Case summary:We report a case of acute ischaemic stroke in a patient treated with dabigatran 150?mg b.i.d. for atrial fibrillation. After an off-label treatment with idarucizumab, a humanized monoclonal antibody approved for dabigatran reversal, we performed a successful intravenous thrombolysis (IVT). Transoesophageal echocardiography showed a left atrial appendage (LAA) thrombus, despite full-dose dabigatran and an adequate therapy adherence. Discussion:There are few cases of LAA thrombus during dabigatran treatment reported in literature till date. We analyse the possible pathogenetic mechanisms involved in dabigatran failure, including drug interactions and unexpected genetic variations interfering with dabigatran serum levels suggesting periodical assessment of direct Oral Anticoagulant levels. Furthermore, we confirm initial reports of safety and efficacy of intravenous thrombolysis after idarucizumab, in case of dabigatran failure.

Large Mobile Left Ventricular Thrombi Formation in a 32-Year-Old Despite Direct Oral Anticoagulation With Dabigatran

Project description:Direct oral anticoagulant agents (DOACs) are widely used in the treatment of arterial and venous thrombi. We report the case of a 32-year-old patient who was receiving permanent DOAC therapy. Despite adequate use, 2 large left ventricular thrombi developed. Surgical thrombectomy was performed. The patient recovered well and received anticoagulation with phenprocoumon thereafter. (Level of Difficulty:Beginner.) Central Illustration
