[|AI|]  Hi, Thank you for posting your query. I need some more details to advise you to regard the need of repeat MRI or the need of using citron. What was the diagnosis? Blood clot is a non-specific term. Was it a clot in the veins or arteries? If you can upload the old MRI, it would be useful. If the clot occurred due to heart problem, such as atrial fibrillation, prosthetic valves, etc., then, citron is required lifelong. However, in other cases, such as venous clots (thrombosis), six months of citron is enough. I hope it helps. Best wishes, Chat Doctor.
