Po-701-04 outcomes of left atrial appendage closure in patients with atrial fibrillation and end-stage renal disease on dialysis

Oral anticoagulation (OAC) therapy is the mainstay of treatment for stroke-risk reduction in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). However, OAC use in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) on dialysis is associated with a significantly increased risk of bleeding and an uncertain benefit in stroke reduction. In these patients, left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) could be alternative.
