NO
To prospectively evaluate the safety and efficacy of anticoagulation discontinuation after stand-alone thoracoscopic left atrial appendage occlusion in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation.

Treatment
| Medicine |
Anticoagulation therapy will be continued for 3 months after stand-alone thoracoscopic left atrial appendage occlusion and discontinued after confirmation of complete left atrial appendage closure at 3 months.
Anticoagulation therapy will be continued beyond 3 months after stand-alone thoracoscopic left atrial appendage occlusion.

| Not applicable |
Male and Female
1. Patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation who are scheduled to undergo elective stand-alone thoracoscopic left atrial appendage occlusion.
2. Patients aged 18 years or older.
3. Patients with a CHA2DS2-VASc score of >=2 (>=3 for women).
1. Patients with a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) <25%.
2. Patients who are unable to tolerate single-lung ventilation.
3. Patients in whom thoracoscopic surgery via the left thoracic cavity is considered difficult because of anticipated severe left pleural adhesions (e.g., previous left lung surgery).
4. Patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy or a history of left atrial thrombus outside the left atrial appendage.
5. Patients who are considered to require long-term anticoagulation for other indications, regardless of left atrial appendage closure.
6. Patients who are unable to undergo ECG-gated contrast-enhanced CT because of renal dysfunction or other reasons.
7. Patients considered unsuitable for participation in this study by the principal investigator or study investigators.
8. Patients who are currently participating or plan to participate in another clinical trial or interventional study.
