As mentioned, the main stay of treatment is anticoagulation. However, many patients with AF are not candidates for long-term anticoagulation due to high-bleeding risk (HBR) or high-risk for trauma (such as falls). More than 90% of strokes from AF are due to clots in the left atrial appendage (LAA) that are brought by blood flow into the brain. In 2015, the Watchman device became the first U.S. FDA approved device for LAAO.  CGHMC\u2019s HI performed the Philippine\u2019s first LAAO with Watchman.
