title: Dual antiplatelet agents and Rivaroxaban for massive intracoronary thrombus in STEMI.
abstract: Management of intracoronary thrombus in patients presenting more than 12 hours after the onset of ST elevation myocardial infarction is challenging. We present such a case which had massive thrombus in left anterior descending artery. It was managed successfully with dual antiplatelet agents and factor Xa inhibitor rivaroxaban administered orally.
