Hello. Just found out had 2 mini-strokes due to off of eliquis for 36-hours for dental surgery which was a tough one. PCD now recommending a Watchman device for additional stroke protection if cardiologist okays it.
Would appreciate Watchman referrals from experienced users now. Thank you.
Blessings to all.

Hi, @oumike - There are a few discussions on Connect that might be useful to you about a medical implant used to reduce the risk of stroke in people with atrial fibrillation (Watchman).

Here's a recent discussion looking for those who may have experience with this implant:
