BEYOND BLOOD THINNERS



Over 1/3 of people with AFib feel trapped between the fear of having a stroke
and fear of the risks associated with blood thinners. In fact, more than 4 in 5
people with AFib taking a blood thinner (83%) say they would be willing to try a
different treatment to help reduce their risk of stroke.1

FOR ALL THE RIGHT REASONS



WATCHMAN effectively reduces the risk of stroke—without the risk of bleeding
that can come with the long-term use of blood thinners.2,3

I didn’t have any problems getting the [WATCHMAN] procedure and I feel so much
better since I had it. It makes me feel good that I can get up and go and not
worry.

WATCHMAN is for people with atrial fibrillation not caused by a heart valve
problem who need an alternative to blood thinners. This website is intended to
provide patients and caregivers with some information about the WATCHMAN
Implant. It may help prepare you for talking to your doctor about your options
for reducing stroke risk.

Important Safety Information

The WATCHMAN and WATCHMAN FLX Devices are permanent implants designed to close
the left atrial appendage in the heart in an effort to reduce the risk of
stroke.

With all medical procedures there are risks associated with the implant
procedure and the use of the device. The risks include but are not limited to
accidental heart puncture, air embolism, allergic reaction, anemia, anesthesia
risks, arrhythmias, AV (Arteriovenous) fistula, bleeding or throat pain from the
TEE (Trans Esophageal Echo) probe, blood clot or air bubbles in the lungs or
other organs, bruising at the catheter insertion site, clot formation on the
device, cranial bleed, excessive bleeding, gastrointestinal bleeding, groin
puncture bleed, hypotension, infection/pneumonia, pneumothorax, pulmonary edema,
pulmonary vein obstruction, renal failure, stroke, thrombosis and transient
ischemic attack. In rare cases death can occur.

Be sure to talk with your doctor so that you thoroughly understand all of the
risks and benefits associated with the implantation of the device.
