Watchman Procedure: Advancing Cardiac Care for Your Heart

What is the Watchman Procedure? If you suffer from an irregular heartbeat (atrial fibrillation or AFib), our Watchman procedure offers a reduction in the risks that are generally associated with AFib-related complications.

Understanding Watchman and Its Significance

With over 6 million Americans affected by AFib, the risk of adverse cardiac events is a serious concern. The Watchman device, about the size of a quarter, is made to prevent blood clots from escaping the left atrial appendage (LAA) in the heart, where they often form due to AFib.

Who Can Benefit from the Watchman Procedure?

The Watchman procedure is a solution for patients with AFib who are at risk of complications and seeking an alternative to long-term blood-thinning medications. It safeguards heart health and improves overall quality of life.

How Watchman Is Implanted

During the procedure, a narrow tube is inserted through an opening in the groin, guiding the Watchman implant into the LAA. This process is done under general anesthesia and typically takes about an hour. Most patients can go home the next day.

Benefits of the Watchman Procedure

It requires only a tiny incision and offers a quicker recovery period. It significantly reduces the risk of complications associated with AFib. Enhanced Quality of Life: It eliminates the need for long-term blood-thinning-related medications and restrictions.
