Small thrombus in distal right pulmonary
The CT Scan Pulmonary Angio reads "small thrombus in distal right pulmonary artery at its bifurcation as described above minimally comprising the lumen". My question is should i start taking Xarelto (Rivaroxaban) as prescribed by the doctor or should ask doctor to prescribe more safe drug considering the side effect profile of the drug?

Hi. With CT angiogram showing this report of thrombus, you are likely to need a blood thinning medicine. There are multiple such medicines available. Now which will be the best medicine for you and in what dose, depends on many things. So please meet a cardiologist personally and show him all the reports including CT angio, 2d echo, chest x ray etc. and get properly examined clinically to decide on the final advice on the medicine & dose best suited for you. Thanks.
