    She states a suture or "stitch" at the femoral vein insertion site "plugs up" the opening. I think she is referring to the Vascade plug, not a suture.

    If it doesn't stop afib, what's the point of getting it?

      Stopping the risk of a stroke.

      To prevent blood clots. A fib can cause blood clots.

      You can get an ablation to stop a fib or perhaps a cardioversion

      The Watchman device is designed to protect against the formation of blood clots in the left atrial appendage. The issue of atrial fibrillation would be addressed through medication, cardiac ablation, or both.
