Brief Summary: Compelling evidences support the safety of direct oral anticoagulants (DOAC) compared to Vitamin K antagonists (VKA) in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation. The 2018 EHRA/ESC practical guide on the use of non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants stated that "data have shown that administration in a crushed form (e.g. via a nasogastric tube), does not alter the bioavailability for apixaban, rivaroxaban, and edoxaban". However, at the moment, there are no evidences supporting unequivocally the use of DOAC via PEG.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Edoxaban administered through PEG in patients with an indication of anticoagulation according to the current clinical practice.
Detailed Description: Several studies support the safety of direct oral anticoagulants (DOAC) compared to Vitamin K antagonists (VKA) in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation.

The 2018 EHRA/ESC practical guide on the use of non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants affirmed that "data have shown that administration in a crushed form (e.g. via a nasogastric tube), does not alter the bioavailability for apixaban, rivaroxaban, and edoxaban". However, at the moment, there are no evidences supporting unequivocally the use of DOAC via Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG).

PEG is a method developed throughout the early 1980s for patients who need long-term enteral nutrition due to neurodegenerative, neuromuscular and oncological diseases. This class of patients is expected to increase significantly in the next decade.

Several studies have proven the safety of DOAC compared to VKA even recommending to prefer DOAC over VKA wherever possible in the prevention of stroke and systemic embolism in adult patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation. However, there is no evidence to support unequivocally the use of DOAC in patients fed PEG.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Edoxaban administered through PEG in patients with an indication of anticoagulation according to the current clinical practice.
