FARAPULSE Pulsed Field Ablation and WATCHMAN FLX Pro devices

Concomitant AFib Treatment + Stroke Protection

With the FARAPULSE™ PFA Platform and WATCHMAN FLX™ Pro LAAC Device  

2 Proven Procedures. 1 Streamlined Case. 1 Patient Recovery.

FARAWATCH Concomitant PFA + LAAC Logo

Concomitant FARAWATCH™ procedures using the FARAPULSE Pulsed Field Ablation (PFA) Platform and WATCHMAN FLX Pro Left Atrial Appendage Closure (LAAC) Device enable physicians to effectively treat AFib patients while providing stroke protection in one streamlined case and recovery process.

​Together, we can transform AFib care.

Why concomitant FARAPULSE PFA and WATCHMAN LAAC?

  • Streamlined approach that benefits patients, increases operational efficiency, and reduces resource burden​​
  • Patients and physicians can feel confident they are addressing both the symptoms of AFib while reducing the risk of stroke and bleeding at the same time​
  • The most widely used technologies in PFA and LAAC, the FARAPULSE Platform and the WATCHMAN FLX Pro LAAC Device lead the way in enabling safe and efficient AFib treatment and stroke protection
500,000 FARAPULSE patients and
600,000 WATCHMAN patients have been treated globally


 

Clinically Proven

The FARAPULSE Platform and WATCHMAN LAAC Device lead the way in clinical evidence for their therapy offerings:

The FARAPULSE Platform has built the largest and most comprehensive clinical evidence base in pulsed field ablation, with unmatched volume in peer-reviewed studies, registry participation, and patient outcomes across pivotal trials and real-world registries.

The OPTION Clinical Trial3,5, a breakthrough study in AFib treatment, is the first randomized, head-to-head study comparing WATCHMAN to OAC (95% DOACs) after cardiac ablation*.

*Thermal AFib ablation only.
