AB  - Four conditions drive the clinical conundrum regarding the use of novel oral anticoagulants in patients also receiving dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT): atrial fibrillation, left ventricular and intracardiac thrombus, mechanical valve prosthesis, and venous thrombotic disease and pulmonary embolism.
