From May 2014 to April 2021, a total of 673 NVAF patients were enrolled. The overall successful implantation rate was 97.62% (657 of 673). The rate of perioperative adverse events was 1.19% (8 of 673), including 3 cardiac tamponades, 2 ischemic strokes, one device-related thrombus (DRT) and 2 device dislocations. 604 (92.24%) patients completed the follow-up, the median follow-up period was 36.9 months (IQR 24.8–56.5 months). 16 stroke events occurred in 15 patients (one patient suffered from both hemorrhagic and ischemic strokes). 13 patients (2.15%) had ischemic stroke, and the fatal rate was 0.33% (2 of 604). 3 patients (0.15%) suffered from hemorrhagic stroke, and the fatal rate was 0.17% (1 of 604). The overall stroke rate was 0.74% per-year. The combined death and stroke rate was 1.93% per-year. In the multivariate Cox regression analysis, age ≥ 75 (hazard ratio 2.264, 95% CI 1.074–4.772,
