Summary
The APPENDAGE study is a phase 4 multicentre randomized opened clinical trial comparing 2 different antithrombotic strategies following left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) in patients with non valvular atrial fibrillation (AF). The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of Aspirin versus Aspirin + Clopidogrel after LAAC by comparing the occurrence of ischemic lesions on cerebrovascular magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria5

- Age ≥ 18 years
- Written informed consent provided by the patient
- Heart team approval: multidisciplinary team including interventional cardiologists, neurologists and other physicians discussing the definitive contraindication for anticoagulation
- Registration under social security system
Exclusion Criteria22
- Minors
- Unacceptable bleeding risk with double antiplatelet therapy decided by the physician who contraindicated oral anticoagulation
- LAAC contraindication : left appendage thrombus

- Hypersensitivity to clopidogrel, acetylsalicylic acid, or one of the excipients or other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (cross-reaction).
- Asthma or a history of asthma with or without nasal polyps induced by salicylates or substances of close activity, including nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
- Evolving peptic ulcer or history of gastric hemorrhage or perforation after treatment with acetylsalicylic acid or other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.

- Contraindication to MRI: claustrophobia or inability to lie still for exam time, implantable pacemaker or defibrillator, intracorporeal metal foreign body (especially intraocular), intracranial metal clip, cochlear implant, cardiac valve prosthesis type Starr-Edwards pre 6000, or biomedical device type insulin pump or neurostimulator.
- Guardianship
- Curatorship
- Pregnancy or child-bearing potential female
- Woman of childbearing age who does not benefit from highly effective contraception (CTFG recommendation on highly effective contraceptive methods: oral, intravaginal or transdermal estrogeno-progestin contraception; progestin-based oral, injectable or implantable contraception; intrauterine device; hormonal intrauterine device; female sterilization (occlusion of the fallopian tubes))
- Iode contraindication
