Brief summary
VISIONAIRE (Vitamin K AntagonISt, Factor Xa Inhibitor Or Nothing In Atrial Fibrillation And DIalytic End-stage Renal DiseasE) trial will be a prospective randomized open-label with blinded endpoint adjudication trial including 1500 patients with atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter and advanced chronic kidney disease
Interventions
Patients will be anticoagulated following with 30 mg QD edoxaban or adjusted dose warfarin for a target INR 2.0-3.0.

Study design
Masking description
All study endpoints will be assessed by an independent Clinical Events Committee (CEC), whose members will be unaware of randomized treatment assignment.
Intervention model description
Patients will be randomized in 1:1:2 to warfarin, edoxaban or no OAC, stratified by renal replacement status.
Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* Patients with clinical atrial fibrillation or flutter (persistent, paroxysmal or permanent); * CHA2DS2-Vasc ≥ 2 points (≥ 3 if female); * Chronic kidney disease with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≤ 15 ml/min/1.73 m2 by the CKD-EPI equation (confirmed by two lab results at least 3 months apart) or on chronic renal replacement therapy (Of note: number of patients included in no renal replacement therapy stratum will be capped at around 30% from the total study population).
Exclusion criteria
* Active bleeding or severe bleeding \< 1 month; * Prior kidney transplantation; * Refusal de provide consent * Severe chronic liver disease (Child C); * Other indication of oral anticoagulation (e.g.,: venous thromboembolism or pulmonary embolism); * Prior intracranial hemorrhage; * Bleeding disorder (other than uremia); * Platelet count \< 50,000 / mm3 ; * Pregnancy or breastfeeding; * Mechanical valvar prosthesis; * Moderate to severe mitral stenosis; * Need for antithrombotic drugs other than single antiplatelet agents, or need for dual antiplatelet therapy with aspirin plus an ADP receptor blocker; * Any comorbidity beyond CKD and CV disease (e.g., metastatic cancer) which, in the investigator´s opinion, may impact survival in 12 months.
