Watchman Procedure at Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center: Advancing
Cardiac Care for Your Heart
Welcome to Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center, where we are dedicated
to providing advanced cardiac care, including the revolutionary Watchman
procedure. If you suffer from atrial fibrillation (AFib), commonly known
as an irregular heartbeat, our Watchman procedure offers a significant
reduction in the risks 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 engineered to prevent blood clots from escaping the left atrial
appendage (LAA) in the heart, where they often form due to AFib.
Why Choose Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center
Expertise: Our cardiovascular specialists have extensive experience in
performing the Watchman procedure, ensuring precision and optimal outcomes
for our patients. Minimally Invasive: The Watchman procedure is minimally
invasive, leading to faster recovery times, reduced discomfort, and shorter
hospital stays compared to traditional surgeries. Personalized Care: We
tailor our approach to each patient, evaluating their unique medical history
to determine if the Watchman procedure is the right choice for them.
Who Can Benefit from the Watchman Procedure?
The Watchman procedure is ideal for patients with AFib who are at risk
of complications and are seeking an alternative to long-term blood-thinning
medications. It provides a proactive solution to safeguard heart health
and improve 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, done under
general anesthesia, typically takes about an hour, and most patients can
return home the next day.
Benefits of the Watchman Procedure
Minimally Invasive: Requires only a small incision and offers a quicker
recovery period. Cardiac Protection: Significantly reduces the risk of
complications associated with AFib. Enhanced Quality of Life: Eliminates
the need for long-term blood-thinning medications and associated restrictions.
