No device-related thrombosis occurred. The mean device compression rate at end of procedure was 18.3 卤 7.7%, compared with 12.2 卤 7.8% by TEE at 8 weeks' follow-up (p < 0.001) and 5.8 卤 8.8% by cardiac CT imaging at follow-up (p < 0.001). Conclusions The Watchman FLX device ...
The WATCHMAN Implant has a high implant success* rate of99%and a low major complication rate** of 0.5%.¹ In a clinical trial,96%of people were able to stop taking blood thinners45 daysafter getting a WATCHMAN FLX Implant.¹ Conditions we treat ...
The rate of stroke was 1.8/100 patient-years (two events) and the rate of major bleeding complication was 8.9/100 patient-years. Three patients had peri-device leak >4mm and no patients had device thrombus visualised. 70.2% of patients had discontinued anticoagulation at 45 days, 89.4% had...
Moreover, in a large registry including 418 patients implanted with an Amplatzer ASD or PFO device, the rate of DAT was 0% at 1 month TEE follow-up [7]. As reported in our article, DAT after LAA occlusion is most likely multifactorial with risk factors including patient, device and ...
FLX device repositioning after first attempt was required in 40 cases (20%) without any complication. Device size change, after first choice was needed in eight cases (4%). In one exceptional case simultaneous implant of two Watchman FLX devices was performed in a bi-lobed LAA. Peri-device ...
The new generation device, WATCHMAN FLX, was introduced and its use was associated with fewer safety events and a higher success rate of effective appendage closure. Nevertheless, several unsolved problems remain, including device-related thrombosis, the post-LAAC antithrombotic ...

complicationObjectives We sought to provide a systematic review of reported cases of LAA closure device embolization by focusing on the two most commonly implanted devices: the Watchman (WM) device and the Amplatzer Cardiac Plug (ACP). Methods A comprehensive search of the Pubmed database was ...
Periprocedural Bleeding in Patients Undergoing WATCHMAN Device Placement: An Unavoidable Complication?We read with great interest the report by Price et al. [(1)][1] on bleeding outcomes after left atrial appendage closure using the WATCHMAN device (Boston Scientific, Marlborough, Massachusetts) in...
