Can the Lambre Device Occlude IRRegular And Large Appendages in Patients With Non-Valvular AF

Summary

The primary objective is to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of the implantation of the LAmbre PlusTM device in patients with large or irregularly shaped appendages with non-valvular atrial fibrillation who are at increased risk for stroke and systemic embolism compared to oral anticoagulation (OAC).
