WATCH-TAVR is a prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled trial. Only centers with approval for commercial WATCHMAN implantation will be included in this trial. Subjects will be enrolled at up to 32 centers in the United States. There will be up to 350 subjects enrolled, with 175 patients randomized to TAVR + medical therapy and 175 patients randomized to simultaneous TAVR+WATCHMAN to accumulate the necessary 191 primary events. Enrollment is expected to occur over the course of 18 months. Patients will be followed for a total of 2 years. Patients with non-valvular AF undergoing standard of care commercial TAVR will be enrolled in the trial. For patients who receive the WATCHMAN device, plan of care will follow WATCHMAN labeling.Patients randomized to receive the WATCHMAN device will receive anticoagulation with warfarin and aspirin for 6 weeks after the procedure. After 6 weeks, the plan of care will follow WATCHMAN labeling. Patients randomized to the TAVR + medical therapy arm will be treated in accordance with standard of care with either warfarin, other anticoagulant/antiplatelet therapy, or no anticoagulation at the discretion of the treating physician. All patients will continue to receive routine post-TAVR follow-up and care.Patients will be monitored for primary and secondary endpoints as outlined.
