Brief summary

This clinical study is a prospective, multi-center, non-interventional study designed to investigate the safety and effectiveness of percutaneous LAA appendage closure by using LAmbre™ Left Atrial Appendage Occluder System. 579 patients with valvular AF complicated with previous AF-related embolic events (including ischemic stroke, TIA and systemic embolism) were enrolled at about 20 study sites nationwide. The baseline data, operation process and relevant follow-up information of subjects were recorded at 7 months after operation or before discharge and at 1, 3, 6, 12 and 24 months after operation.

Detailed description

Study Population Patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation and previous AF-related embolic events Purpose To assess the feasibility and safety of percutaneous LAA closure as secondary prevention for patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) and previous atrial fibrillation (AF) related embolic events (including ischemic stroke, transient ischemic attack (TIA), and systemic embolism).

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TESTTransthoracic Echocardiography

After the surgey, the tests data will be collected during 8 visits when the subjects go back to the hospital.
