I had to go to ER because of nosebleeds, and it cost me $500 for three months. So I had a “Watchman” procedure, which theyry insert into one of the chambers (via angiography, so no chest cutting). It has worked great. Ask your Cardiologist about it. No more Eliquis!
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
