What is the Watchman Device?

The Watchman device is a minimally invasive implant designed to reduce stroke risk in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation by sealing the left atrial appendage.

Why is it Used?

For patients who cannot tolerate long-term blood thinners, the Watchman provides an effective, non-medication alternative for stroke prevention.

How is the Watchman Device Implanted?

The device is implanted through a catheter inserted via a vein in the leg and guided into the heart. Most patients return home the next day.

Living with the Watchman Device

After healing, many patients are able to discontinue blood thinners and enjoy long-term stroke protection with peace of mind.
