Interventions
Device: left atrial appendage closure device implantation
Registration Number
NCT03014557

Fu Wai Hospital, Beijing, China
Brief Summary

This registry is designed to observe the safety and effectiveness of WATCHMAN left atrial appendage closure technology in a Chinese population.

Detailed Description

In this prospective, multi-center, single arm observational study, 413 patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation intended to be implanted with a WATCHMAN device based on real clinical practice will be enrolled. Enrolled subjects will be followed up for 5 years.Primary endpoints include stroke, systematic embolism, cardiovascular death, and procedure or device related complications, etc.
