Leading the Way in LAAC

Celebrating a Decade of FDA Approval
 

The proven leader in left atrial appendage closure

For more than 20 years, WATCHMAN Solutions has led the advancement of LAAC, focusing on clinical evidence and device innovation. Partnering with physicians like you, we’ve helped more than 500,000 patients reduce their atrial fibrillation (AFib)-related stroke risk—without the worry and risks of long term oral anticoagulants (OACs).  


 

The OPTION Clinical Trial: a breakthrough study in AFib treatment 

The primary outcomes from the first randomized, head-to-head study comparing the WATCHMAN FLX Device to oral anticoagulants (OACs)—95% of which were direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs)—after cardiac ablation provide pivotal insights into exploring patient alternatives to lifelong oral anticoagulation.1
