Carey, I’ve never seen a study saying that a watchman reduces to chance of a stroke to the same as the non-AFIB population, but rather that it’s non-inferior to oral anti coagulation. Is there a study supporting what you wrote. I’m currently scheduled for a watchman in 2 weeks but sort of on the fence about it. Thanks.

I haven’t found anything saying that half dose eliquis is safer than low dose aspirin for intracranial bleeding. Certainly eliquis has a better risk-benefit profile than aspirin for afib, since aspirin has very little effect in reducing afib related stroke. The watchman duplicates or betters the ischemic stroke prevention of eliquis, so it’s only the risk of bleeding between eliquis and low dose aspirin that’s relevant. And, if as you say, you can stop aspirin once endothelialization is complete, then the bleeding risk would truly be reduced to that of a non- AF individual.

As for half dose eliquis reducing the chance of a stroke emanating from somewhere besides the LAA, that seems unlikely to me. Full dose eliquis without LAA occlusion does not eliminate stroke risk, but reduces it. Also, aspirin has fewer drug interactions than eliquis.

2. After endothelialization, no anticoagulant or anti platelet is needed.

Why is one of the 1st questions someone ask me is “Did they ablate the LAA?” I did ask and Natale said no because it would be too aggressive and they had nothing except empirical knowledge which would have them do so on 1st ablation. He said we would wait to see if it is needed later. What does all this mean?

I would recommend any EP who has done at least a few hundred of them. It's not the exquisitely difficult art that ablations are.

A person cant just take Eliquis after Watchman procedure instead of aspirin? My question is aspirin required to be taken for a period of time after Watchman procedure?
