Blood thinner after heart attack with clot seen on MRI
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests how to use a blood thinner in people after a recent heart attack who have a clot in the left heart chamber confirmed by heart MRI. It may help lower the risk of the clot causing serious complications, but it also requires careful bleeding-safety screening.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are older than 18 and were recently hospitalized for an acute STEMI heart attack
- A cardiac MRI confirmed a clot in the left heart chamber (LV thrombus)
- You are not currently having active bleeding, and you have not had certain serious bleeding problems in the past year
- Your blood counts and liver function meet safety limits (including not being severely anemic or having severe liver disease)
- You are not already taking blood-thinning medicines, and you don’t have major bleeding risk factors
- You can take the study blood thinner (no known allergy to rivaroxaban), and you are not pregnant or breastfeeding

This trial studies whether a specific blood thinner can better treat a left-side heart clot found soon after a heart attack. It may help prevent the clot from getting worse or causing complications.
This trial compares the blood thinner apixaban to warfarin for treating blood clots in the main pumping chamber of the heart (left ventricle). The goal is to see which medicine is better at preventing strokes and other complications.
This trial tests whether a newer blood thinner, apixaban, works better than the standard warfarin for treating blood clots in the left ventricle after a heart attack. The goal is to see which medication is safer and more effective at preventing complications.
This trial tests if patients with a blood clot in the left ventricle can safely stop blood thinner (Apixaban) after at least 3 months, instead of taking it longer. It may help people with no additional risks avoid extra medication.
This trial tests a blood thinner, rivaroxaban, to see if it can prevent blood clots from forming in the heart after a specific type of heart attack (STEMI) that affects the front part of the heart.
This trial tests a blood thinner called rivaroxaban (Xarelto) given right after heart valve surgery with a tissue valve. It aims to see if it can prevent blood clots or strokes safely in the early recovery period.
