Eligibility:

All Genders

18+ years

Phase:

NA

Brief Summary

This trial is designed to examine the hypothesis that thoracoscopic LAA clipping is superior to NOACs for stroke, systemic embolism, all-cause mortality, major bleeding events and clinically relevant ...

Detailed Description

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most prevalent cardiac arrhythmia disease, and the incidence of AF increases markedly with age and approximately doubles with each decade. According to the previous stu...
