Clinical outcomes and thrombus resolution in patients with solid left atrial appendage thrombi: results of a single-center real-world registry.

CONCLUSIONS: In this registry, approximately 85% of LAA thrombi were diagnosed in patients with ongoing OAC. Thrombus resolution was observed in nearly 50% of cases. Although there was no difference in the rate of LAA thrombus resolution between VKA and NOACs, the resolution time was shorter in patients prescribed a NOAC.
