In another first, Dr James Sapontis supported by Dr Asrar Ul Haq, Dr. Krishna Bhagwat and Knox Private Cardiac team, seen pictured above, performed the WATCHMAN® procedure.
(The WATCHMAN® is a small coin sized, permanent heart implant and is a procedure for stroke prevention in AF patients. It reduces the risk of stroke-causing blood clots originating from the heart’s left atrial appendage. The procedure is specifically designed for patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) that is unrelated to a heart valve condition and who don’t respond well to blood thinners.)
