Contemporary data are lacking regarding the management of left ventricular thrombus (LVT) developed after ST segment elevation myocardial infarction
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.
Established ST segment elevation myocardial infarction within 7 days Left ventricular thrombus (LVT) is detected by either cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) or TTE.
Ongoing treatment with dual anti-platelet therapy according to ESC/AHA guidelines at the time of randomization
Exclusion Criteria:
Clinically or hemodynamically unstable planed major surgeon such as CABG or Valve replacement within next 12 months Concomitant condition that requires anti- coagulation therapy, such as AF, DVT.
Any contraindication of anticoagulant therapy History of intracranial hemorrhage; Woman who is currently pregnant, or breastfeeding serious impaired renal and liver functions life expectancy less than 1 year can not provide consent
patient will receive dual antiplatelet therapy, the choose of p2Y12 inhibitor is at the discretion of the clinician. in addition the patient will receive rivaroxaban 15mg daily in addition to the dual antiplatelet therapy.
Drug: Rivaroxaban 15 MG [Xarelto]
patient will receive dual antiplatelet therapy, the choose of p2Y12 inhibitor is at the discretion of the clinician.
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.

Percentage of participants with the first occurrence of Stroke and other systemic embolism
The percentage of participants with the first occurrence of Stroke and other systemic embolism were evaluated.
Time frame: 12 months
Composite major adverse events
The incidence of a composite adverse events, including all cause mortality, recurrent myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke and other systemic embolism
Time frame: 12months
LVT resolution
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.
Time frame: 12 months
Total LVT present time
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.
Time frame: 12 months
Percentage of Participants With Clinically Significant Bleeding
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.
