Patient Testimonial for Left Atrial Appendage Closure

Mrs. Monika Ailwadi underwent two procedures with Dr. V. Rajasekhar at Yashoda Hospital, Secunderabad. Her initial surgery involved a stent placement, which was performed successfully. Later, to reduce the risk of developing clots in the left appendage, the heart WATCHMAN device was placed. It is a self-expanding device that closes off the Left Atrial Appendage (LAA). The patient says: “I underwent two successful procedures at Yashoda hospital. Not only do I feel light, but the environment here is also courteous and helpful. The staff made me feel comfortable throughout. I recommend others to go for the heart WATCHMAN device if the doctor recommends it.”
