Patients with atrial fibrillation are increasingly prescribed a direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) over warfarin and seek to avoid anticoagulation even without a history of major bleeding. This study explores the outcomes of patients implanted with a Watchman device in relation to anticoagulation choice (warfarin versus DOAC) in the post-procedure period and a history of bleeding.
