This is a prospective, randomized, multi-center global investigational study. The primary objective is to determine if left atrial appendage closure with the WATCHMAN FLX device is a reasonable alternative to non-vitamin K oral anticoagulants (NOACs - drugs that inhibits clotting) in patients with Atrial Fibrillation (AF) - irregular heart rhythm caused by other things, such as high blood pressure or an overactive thyroid gland.
