A Safer Future for AFib Patients: Methodist First in Region to Offer WATCHMAN FLX Pro
Methodist Hospitals is the first in Northwest Indiana to offer the innovative WATCHMAN FLX™ Pro implant, performed in our state-of-the-art Cardiac Cath Lab using a minimally invasive procedure. This one-time implant is designed to reduce stroke risk for patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation by closing off the heart’s left atrial appendage, where harmful blood clots often form. Enhanced with advanced polymer coating and visualization markers, the WATCHMAN FLX Pro promotes safer healing and precise placement. For many patients, this breakthrough means lasting protection and freedom from the need for lifelong blood thinners.
