AB Intracardiac  thrombosis  can  complicate  a  variety  of  conditions  and  lead  to  devastating  consequences  as  a  result  of  peripheral  embolization  or  blood  flow  reduction.  Long-term  therapeutic  oral  anticoagulation  is  effective  for  the  prevention  of  thromboembolism  in  these  conditions  but  carries  attendant  risks  including  major  bleeding.  Understanding  the  risks  and  benefits  of  long-term  oral  anticoagulant  therapy  for  various  cardiac  conditions  is  essential  for  ensuring  the  best  clinical  outcomes.
