Agreed. No blood can enter, no clot can form, so one doesn't need a DOAC for that particular risk. However, the patient may have other risks associated with age alone, lifestyle, comorbidities....and would be well-advised to continue on a DOAC. As always, this is considered after consulting a qualified medical professional.

As you know, the protocol after installing the Watchman is a low dose aspirin "for the rest of your life." If you watch any TV, you will note that the Watchman manufacturer is selling Watchman like GM sells Chevrolets. My experience is that their "after sale" support is lacking.
