Summary

To describe the prescribing patterns at Methodist Dallas Medical Center (MDMC) for the treatment of newly diagnosed mural thrombus and to determine the efficacy and safety of DOACs apixaban, dabigatran, and rivaroxaban in comparison to warfarin. With limited treatment guideline consensus, minimal evidence to support the use of DOACs for Left Atrial Appendage (LAA) thrombus and Left Ventricular Thrombus (LVT), and a lack of evidence for the use of DOACs in aortic thrombus, further research is warranted to determine the role of DOACs in the treatment of various mural thrombi in comparison to warfarin.

Detailed description

Retrospective chart review of MDMC patients from 4/1/2017 to 8/31/19 with newly diagnosed mural thrombus. 3.1. Study Methods * Patients will be allocated into two groups: those who were prescribed DOACs upon discharge and those who were prescribed warfarin upon discharge * Subgroup analyses will occur to evaluate the difference in efficacy and safety endpoints for patients into four categories including: those predisposed to mural thrombus by baseline risk factors (AFIB vs. ACS), location of the mural thrombus (atrial, ventricular, aortic), DOAC by agent (apixaban, rivaroxaban, dabigatran), and DOAC by scheduled dosing indication (AFIB vs. VTE).
