Objectives The aim of this study was to investigate the procedural efficacy and safety of the novel Watchman FLX (Boston Scientific, Marlborough, Massachusetts) device for left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) and to assess the feasibility of intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) to guide implantation....
and thromboembolic events is poorly understood, said Krishan, but there is evidence showing that incomplete closure with the Lariat device (SentreHEART) or surgical exclusion is associated with an increased risk of subsequent stroke—raising concerns that the Watchman might suffer the same problems. ...

watchman deviceThe role of left atrial appendage occlusion devices for stroke prevention in nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (AF) continues to expand. Device embolization is a rare but potentially catastrophic complication with variable clinical presentations. Here, we present a case of delayed dislodgment...
The data are limited on comparative efficacy and safety of the left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) using the Watchman device (WD) and Amplatzer Cardiac Plug (ACP) for stroke prevention in nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (AF) patients. OBJECTIVE. To assess the safety and efficacy of the WD ...
We describe a case of left atrial appendage perforation during Watchman device implantation requiring emergency repair of the left atrium using sternotomy and cardiopulmonary bypass. Technical considerations for surgical decision making are discussed; in hemodynamically unstable patients as well as those at...
