Las personas con fibrilaci\u00f3n auricular tienen m\u00e1s riesgo de sufrir un ictus que las que tienen un ritmo cardiaco normal.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>El dispositivo WATCHMAN FLX cierra una zona del coraz\u00f3n denominada orejuela auricular izquierda para evitar que peligrosos co\u00e1gulos sangu\u00edneos penetren en el torrente sangu\u00edneo y puedan causar un ictus. Al sellar la zona, puede reducirse el riesgo de ictus y, con el tiempo, los pacientes pueden dejar de tomar anticoagulantes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\"El WATCHMAN FLX es un dispositivo innovador\", dijo&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.southcoast.org\/es\/doctors\/nitesh-sood-md\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Nitesh Sood<\/a>MD, Director de la <a href=\"https:\/\/heart.southcoast.org\/treatment-and-services\/cardiac-electrophysiology\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Programa de bienestar para la fibrilaci\u00f3n auricular<\/a> del Centro de Cuidados Cardiovasculares de Southcoast Health en el Charlton Memorial. \"Al ofrecer este procedimiento, somos el hospital l\u00edder aqu\u00ed para los pacientes que buscan servicios card\u00edacos avanzados, equivalentes a los principales hospitales universitarios\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>La tecnolog\u00eda de nueva generaci\u00f3n tiene un nuevo dise\u00f1o y un tallaje adicional para ayudar a tratar a m\u00e1s pacientes de forma segura y eficaz, con el fin de garantizar los mejores resultados a largo plazo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\"Lo que distingue a la nueva generaci\u00f3n de WATCHMAN FLX es la ampliaci\u00f3n de las opciones de tama\u00f1o para adaptarse a m\u00e1s anatom\u00edas de pacientes y el hecho de que los pacientes no tengan que tomar Coumadin, conocido como warfarina, despu\u00e9s del procedimiento\", dice <a href=\"https:\/\/www.southcoast.org\/es\/doctors\/adam-saltzman-md\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Adam Saltzman<\/a>Director M\u00e9dico del Programa de Cardiopat\u00edas Estructurales y del Laboratorio de Cateterismo Card\u00edaco del Centro de Cuidados Cardiovasculares de Southcoast, en el Charlton Memorial. \"En su lugar, los pacientes pueden permanecer en cualquier anticoagulante que estaban en antes del procedimiento - con una alta probabilidad de suspender el anticoagulante despu\u00e9s de 45 d\u00edas y una evaluaci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica de seguimiento.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>En un <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/27816552\/\">ensayo cl\u00ednico<\/a>Seg\u00fan las autoridades, el 96% de las personas pudieron dejar de tomar anticoagulantes 45 d\u00edas despu\u00e9s de la implantaci\u00f3n del WATCHMAN FLX.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Southcoast Health ha utilizado la primera generaci\u00f3n de WATCHMAN durante varios a\u00f1os, implantando el dispositivo en 230 pacientes hasta la fecha. El procedimiento se realiza una sola vez y no requiere extracci\u00f3n ni sustituci\u00f3n, ya que no se ve desde el exterior del cuerpo. La intervenci\u00f3n se realiza bajo anestesia general y dura aproximadamente una hora. Los pacientes suelen pasar la noche en el hospital y salir al d\u00eda siguiente.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Southcoast Health sigue dando prioridad a los avances y la investigaci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica como participante destacado en el&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.clinicaltrials.gov\/ct2\/show\/NCT02879448\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ensayo del oclusor de OI AMPLATZER Amulet<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/clinicaltrials.gov\/ct2\/show\/NCT02928497\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Juicio ASAP-TOO,<\/a>&nbsp;y el&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/clinicaltrials.gov\/ct2\/show\/NCT00531661\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Prueba CAMPE\u00d3N<\/a>un ensayo multic\u00e9ntrico internacional que demuestra que el WATCHMAN FLX puede ser un tratamiento inicial para la prevenci\u00f3n del ictus en la FA.
