Watchman Device: Transforming Stroke Prevention with Precision & Permanence

Atrial fibrillation (AF) remains the most common sustained arrhythmia in clinical practice, significantly increasing the risk of ischemic stroke by nearly five times in patients with non-valvular AF. Stroke prevention has long relied on oral anticoagulation, but not all patients are ideal candidates for long-term therapy due to bleeding risks, compliance issues, or lifestyle concerns
The WATCHMAN device offers a compelling alternative for eligible patients. It is a one-time, minima ly invasive implant designed to reduce stroke risk by occluding the left atrial appendage (LAA) the origin of thrombus in over 90% of AF-related strokes.

Key Benefits for Your Patients:

• Reduced Stroke Risk: Comparable stroke prevention efcacy to warfarin in clinical trials
• Elimination of Long-Term Anticoagulation: Most patients can stop oral anticoagulants 45 days post-procedure, pending successful LAA closure
• Improved Bleeding Profile: Ideal for patients with a history of major bleeding or at high risk of falls
• Minimally Invasive, Catheter-Based Procedure: Typically performed under general anesthesia in a cath lab with short recovery time
• Improved Quality of Life: Patients can avoid the burdens of chronic anticoagulation, including regular INR monitoring and dietary restrictions
• Cost-Effective Long-Term: Reduction in medication and bleeding-related hospitalizations may offer financial benefits over time
