If you just put Watchman in the search box you will see all threads pertaining. There was one quite recently where I posted a video explaining how the procedure was implemented.

If you are in the UK then you will find there is limiting criteria for it to be offered - and I think only a few centres which offer it.

I was first interested in it at least six years ago and since then Amplatzer amulet and at least two more procedures are a being done. Best way to find out where it is being done is to contact the makers Boston Scientific for Watchmam

There was a session on LAO at the recent Patient’s Day in Birmingham. Unfortunately I cannot tell you anymore than the name of the Presenter - Dr Praia Kanagaratnam from London but you may be able to find more on the AFA website.
