Hi I use Eliquis take 3 times per day I’m a combo PAH/CTEPH. I have had episodes of lung clots numerous sites in both longs inoperable once in 2010 and second episode in 2012 I used Lovenox sub q injection in stomach long term for 5 years as I could not take Coumadin, then transitioned to Eliquis 2.5mg three times a day
Something new on horizon for chronic lung clots in clinical trials is Factor XI. Good results so far in clinical trials, something to look forward too!
Most CTEPH patients are on Coumadin….due to breakthrough clots if they were on Eliquis or the other newer anticoagulants
