@migizii. I’m not quite sure who I’m answering, but I have a little knowledge about the Watchman. My father-in-law recently had the procedure done and was able to go home the same day (he is 88yr) with multiple health issues. He has had many falls in the past year, so the decision was made that he had to stop taking blood thinners due to the dizziness and lack of balance he was experiencing. I did a bit of research and had some major concerns about the procedure being done in someone his age, but his gerontologist and heart surgeon, both stated he was a good candidate and he made the decision to proceed. I had read the procedure was generally successful for people in their 70’s and younger. My relative lives in the Chicago area where there are many good resources. I hope this helps a little.
