Outcome of Anticoagulation Therapy of Left Atrial Thrombus or Sludge in Patients With Nonvalvular Atrial Fibrillation or Flutter.

CONCLUSIONS: Compared with warfarin, dabigatran and rivaroxaban can also effectively resolve LA thrombus or sludge with no significant differences. Increasing the duration of anticoagulation, determining the optimal dosage of anticoagulants, and switching to another anticoagulant when necessary could be considered to improve treatment effectiveness.
