In people with non-valvular AFib (NV-AFib), more than 90% of stroke-causing clots are formed in the LAA.2That’s why closing off this part of the heart is an effective way to reduce stroke risk. How the WATCHMAN Implant protects you against clots The WATCHMAN Implant fits right into y...
More than 90% of such patients have an appropriate indication for Watchman implant, stemming from their high stroke and bleeding risk. Our findings suggest an unmet need for Watchman in this population.doi:10.1080/24748706.2017.1414341Kishore J. Harjai...

At 1 year, effective closure—defined as peridevice flow ≤ 5 mm on transesophageal echocardiography—was seen in 100% of patients who had a Watchman FLX successfully inserted. Implant success rate was high at 98.8%. In the study, patients were treated with 45 days of a direct oral ...
The Watchman procedure is a minimally invasive and catheter-based intervention that involves several steps to implant the Watchman device in the left atrial appendage (LAA) of the heart. The procedure is typically performed in a specialized cardiac catheterization lab or electrophysiology suite by a ...
