My mom had a watchman installed last year. She’s doing great now but that was after her surgeon punctured the left side of her heart during the procedure and she almost died. “Known risk “, they said. Her cardiologist group has been with her for 15 plus years at that time. It was a nightmare and the entire episode probably took 3 years off her life. Beware
I read that Watchman is for A-fib. My problem is a DVT in my thigh, so it sounds like it probably wouldn’t be an option for me.
My wife and I both had. We were lucky, and great results.
