Left Atrial Appendage Closure in Patients With Non-valvular Atrial Fibrillation and End-stage Chronic KIDNEY Disease

In the proposed event driven trial, LAA closure devices will be compared in a 1:1 randomization to best medical care in AF patients at high risk of stroke and bleeding with ESKD. The trial will allow the use of the CE marked and clinically used LAA device Amplatzer Cardiac Plug and/or Amulet and all approved medical therapies in AF patients with ESKD including vitamin-K antagonists (VKA), NOACs as well as antiplatelet agents or no anticoagulation in excessive bleeding risk.
