Have persistent afib tee showed clots forming in heart have filter won't do tikocin for 4 weeks waiting for coumadin (warfarin) to clear it on coreg any options?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
What filter?: Not sure what filter you're talking about, there are no filters for left atrial clots. Your only options at this point are anticoagulants like coumadin, (warfarin) pradaxa, eliquis, or xarelto; after which a repeat tee needs to be done and then i would not mess with tikosyn and instead go for electric cardioversion if there are no clots left. You then need to stay on the drug for one more month at least.
