High implant success rate of 99% and a low major complication rate of 0.5%*1 Proven safety record Over 20 years of clinical and real-world experience, over 10 clinical studies and over 500,000 people treated The WATCHMAN Implant is the #1 doctor recommended, most implanted device for left ...
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 leak was found in two cases (1%), one solved by changing FLX size (31 to 35 mm). Final ...
16 reported 100% success rate of device implantation with better utilization of imaging modalities and careful selection of device size as well as the effect of progressive learning curve of the operators. In our registry as well, the device was implanted successfully in all of our patients. ...
Three patients in each group had a cerebrovascular accident and were not associated with device leaks. Conclusion The Lariat device is associated with a lower rate of leaks at 1 year as compared with the Watchman device, with no difference in rates of cerebrovascular accident. There was no ...
WatchmanBackground - Left atrial appendage occlusion using a Watchman device has shown promise in reducing stroke risk in selected atrial fibrillation patients. Limited data exist on differences in characteristics and in-hospital outcomes of Watchman recipients in the United States based on race/...
Results At 18 months, the rate of the first coprimary efficacy endpoint (composite of stroke, systemic embolism [SE], and cardiovascular/unexplained death) was 0.064 in the device group versus 0.063 in the control group (rate ratio 1.07 [95% credible interval (CrI): 0.57 to 1.89]) and ...
This ischemic stroke rate was less than that expected (7.3% per year) based on the CHADS scores of the patient cohort. LAA closure with the Watchman device can be safely performed without a warfarin transition, and is a reasonable alternative to consider for patients at high risk for stroke ...
A Watchmann FLX device showed high technical and procedural success rate, and ICE guidance does not appear inferior to TEE. Keywords: intra-cardiac; transesophageal; echocardiography; left atrial appendage occlusion1. Introduction Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia, affecting...
