Do You Have A Watchman Implant for atrial fibrillation (afib)?

[Colleen Steele]

One of our members mentioned the Watchman procedure/device. It is a small implant placed into the heart that can reduce the risk of stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation. I read that it’s a permanent device that doesn’t have to be replaced and can’t be seen outside the body.

Do you have a Watchman, know someone who does? Is this something you have discussed with your doctor about possibly having in the future? Share your experience with us.

Thanks, @colleensteele for sharing this topic. Many here have Afib and may have some type of implanted device like a Watchman. I had never heard of that specific one.

We do all learn from one another. That is why this forum is so amazing!
