Brief summary
Contemporary data are lacking regarding the management of left ventricular thrombus (LVT) developed after ST segment elevation myocardial infarction
Detailed description
Left ventricular thrombus (LVT) is a commom complication after ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), reperfusion therapy have reduced the incidence of LVT, however, about 6% of all STEMI patients will develop LVT. the risk of LVT development in anterior STEMI with reduced LVEF are as high as 20%. Although current guideline recommend anti-coagulation therapy, but the evidence still based on observational data, there has been inconsistency with the benefit of the coagulation therapy, give the significant increased bleeding risk by superimpose anti-coagulation therapy to the dual anti-platelet therapy. especially in the era of more potent anti-platelet P2Y12 inhibitor widely used clinical. the mechanism of LVT is different from that of the atrial fibrillation in which the risk of systemic embolism is persistent, coagulation bring absolute clinical benefit for high risk patients. however, for LVT developed following STEMI tend to be temporary, majority of thrombus resolve within 1-3 months after STEMI event. more likely a reflection of coagulation system in response to the necrosis of infarct myocardium. The optimal management in LVT after STEMI warrants further exploration. the desiring of randomized controlled clinical trial to compare dual anti platelet + anti-coagulation and dual anti-platelet without anti-coagulation in patient LVT are justified.
Interventions
DRUGRivaroxaban 15 MG [Xarelto]
Eligible subjects randomized into experimental group will receive rivaroxaban 15mg daily in addition to dual anti platelet therapy unless confirmed resolution of the left ventricular thrombus.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Percentage of participants with the first occurrence of Stroke and other systemic embolism | 12 months | The percentage of participants with the first occurrence of Stroke and other systemic embolism were evaluated. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Composite major adverse events | 12months | The incidence of a composite adverse events, including all cause mortality, recurrent myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke and other systemic embolism |
| LVT resolution | 12 months | the LVT resolve will be determined monthly by follow-up imaging examination (Echo cardiograph or Cardiac magnetic resonance). The percentage of LVT resolve at 3 months will be calculated for each group. |
| Total LVT present time | 12 months | LVT will be followed every month in the first 3 months, every 3 months thereafter to determine the present of LVT by Echo cardiograph or Cardiac magnetic resonance. |
| Percentage of Participants With Clinically Significant Bleeding | 12 months | Clinically significant bleeding is a composite of Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) major bleeding, minor bleeding, and bleeding requiring medical attention (BRMA). TIMI major bleeding is defined as any symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage, clinically overt signs of hemorrhage (including imaging) associated with a drop in hemoglobin of greater than or equal to (\>=) 5 grams per deciliter (g/dL) (or when the hemoglobin concentration is not available, an absolute drop in hematocrit of \>=15 percent (%)). TIMI minor bleeding event is defined as any clinically overt sign of hemorrhage (including imaging) that is associated with a fall in hemoglobin concentration of 3 to less than (\<) 5 g/dL (or, when hemoglobin concentration is not available, a fall in hematocrit of 9 percent to \<15 percent). A BRMA event is defined as any bleeding event that requires medical treatment, surgical treatment, or laboratory evaluation, and does not meet criteria for a major or minor bleeding event. |
| Percentage of Participants With Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) Major Bleeding | 12 months | TIMI major bleeding is defined as any symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage, Clinically overt signs of hemorrhage (including imaging) associated with a drop in hemoglobin of \>= 5 g/dL (or when the hemoglobin concentration is not available, an absolute drop in hematocrit of \>=15 percent |
| Percentage of Participants With Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) Minor Bleeding | 12 months | TIMI minor bleeding event is defined as any clinically overt sign of hemorrhage (including imaging) that is associated with a fall in hemoglobin concentration of 3 to \<5 g/dL (or, when hemoglobin concentration is not available, a fall in hematocrit of 9 percent to \<15 percent |
