What This Trial Is Studying

LAAOS-4 aims to determine if catheter-based endovascular left atrial appendage occlusion prevents ischemic stroke or systemic embolism in participants with atrial fibrillation, who remain at high risk of stroke, despite receiving ongoing treatment with oral anticoagulation.

Eligibility Snapshot
  • : 1. (a) Persistent or permanent atrial fibrillation OR (b) Paroxysmal atrial fibrillation in participants with a history of ischemic stroke or systemic embolism 2. Increased risk of stroke, defined as a CHA2DS2-VASc stroke risk score of ≥ 4. [Note: the acronym CHA2DS2-VASc stands for congestive heart failure, hypertension, age ≥75 (doubled), diabetes, stroke (doubled), vascular disease, age 65 to 74 and sex category (female).] 3. Treatment with oral anticoagulants (Vitamin K agonist or factor Xa inhibitor) for at least 90 days prior to enrollment, AND no documented plan to discontinue treatment with oral anticoagulants for the expected duration of the trial.

Use the source registry for the full inclusion and exclusion criteria before discussing referral or enrolment.
