Patients with atrial fibrillation complicated with kidney disease have a high risk of stroke and bleeding, and have some limitations or contraindications to oral anticoagulants. Left atrial appendage closure has been used as an alternative to oral anticoagulation in patients with atrial fibrillation, but its efficacy and safety in patients with atrial fibrillation and chronic kidney disease need to be further confirmed. This paper intends to review the research progress of left atrial appendage occlusion in patients with atrial fibrillation complicated with chronic renal insufficiency.
