The left atrial appendage dangles off the left atrial chamber in the heart and has long been suspected of being a nidus for clot that can break off and cause a stroke.
Great post. Data for Watchman is incredibly weak. The regulatory trials PROTECT and PREVAIL rank among the worst, yet most influential, trials I have ever reviewed in my life. It's a disagree IMO that the broader cardiology community has embraced the device to the extent it has without demand for better trial-level evidence.
Terrific, to the point post.
This was very interesting!
