St. Bernardine Medical Center’s Inland Empire Heart and Vascular Institute is proud to offer the San Bernardino community the WATCHMAN FLX™ Left Atrial Appendage Closure Implant device.
This life-saving implant reduces the risk of stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) – a condition affecting nearly seven million Americans and making their risk of having a stroke five times greater.
The WATCHMAN FLX device closes off an area of the heart, called the left atrial appendage (LAA), to keep blood clots that can form in the LAA from entering the bloodstream and potentially causing a stroke.
