The WATCHMANTM Difference
If you are at increased risk for a stroke and your doctor has determined that you are suitable for blood thinners like warfarin, but not for long-term use, the WATCHMANTM Left Atrial Appendage Closure (LAAC) Device may be a safe alternative for you. WATCHMAN is a permanent implant that reduces stroke risk in people with atrial fibrillation not caused by a heart valve problem. It works differently from blood thinners by closing off a part of the heart where blood clots commonly form.
