Anticoagulation to reduce thromboembolic stroke risk due to nonvalvular atrial fibrillation in ESRD is associated with increased bleeding. Existing debate in ESRD centers around the pros and cons of anticoagulation. We propose percutaneous left atrial appendage occlusion as a third alternative to balance thrombosis and bleeding risks in this high risk population.
