Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Patients ≥ 18 years old with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (AF) and CHA2DS2-VASc ≥2
- There is one of the following: (1) Not suitable for long-term standard anticoagulation treatment; (2) On the basis of long-term standardized anticoagulant therapy with warfarin, stroke or embolism still occurred; (3) HAS-BLED ≥ 3.
- Provide written informed consent and agree to comply with required follow-ups.
You may not qualify if:
- Patients with other diseases other than AF who need long-term warfarin anticoagulation therapy;
- Those who need selective cardiac surgery;
- Heart failure NYHA grade IV;
- AF caused by rheumatic valvular disease, degenerative valvular disease, congenital valvular disease, severe mitral stenosis, aortic stenosis, or other valvular diseases;
- The early onset of AF and paroxysmal AF with definite causes, such as secondary to coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), hyperthyroidism;
- Patients with symptomatic carotid artery disease (such as carotid stenosis \> 50%);
- Patients with acute myocardial infarction, unstable angina, or recent myocardial infarction \< 3 months;
- Stroke or TIA within 30 days;
- Bleeding disease, coagulation-related diseases, and active peptic ulcer;
- Active endocarditis, vegetations, or other infections causing bacteremia or sepsis;
- Conditions may lead to difficulty in testing or significantly shorten the life expectancy of patients (\< 1 year);
- Pregnant, lactating or planned pregnancy during the trial;
- Patients who have not reached the end of other clinical trials of drug or device;
- Hematological abnormality (WBC \< 3 × 109 / L, HB \< 90g / L, or platelet count \< 50 × 109 / L or \> 700 × 109 / L));
- Renal insufficiency (creatinine \> 3.0mg/dl or 265.2umoi / L), and / or advanced renal diseases requiring dialysis;
