Patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation
Left Atrial Appendage Closure (LAAC) with the Watchman device
Long-term safety and efficacy (including hemorrhagic stroke rate)safety
Long-term registry data supports LAAC as a safe and effective therapy for patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation, highlighting a very low rate of hemorrhagic stroke.
These registries, which contain the longest and largest follow-up data of patients with the Watchman device, support LAAC as a safe and effective therapy for long-term anticoagulation in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation, and document the lowest rate of hemorrhagic stroke identified in this population.
