WATCHMAN offers an alternative to the lifelong use of blood thinners for people with AFib not caused by heart valve problems. This permanent implant can reduce your risk of stroke as effectively as warfarin (the most common blood thinner). And, unlike warfarin, WATCHMAN can also reduce your long-term risk of bleeding. 1,2 What's more, WATCHMAN can eliminate the regular blood tests and food-and-drink restrictions that come with warfarin. Most people-in fact, 9 out of 10-can stop taking warfarin 45 days after the WATCHMAN procedure.
