FALL RIVER, Massachusetts. - No final de outubro, Dr. Adam Saltzman<\/a> e Dr. Nitesh Sood<\/a> realizou com sucesso os primeiros implantes do dispositivo WATCHMAN FLX de nova gera\u00e7\u00e3o em doentes com fibrilha\u00e7\u00e3o auricular no sudeste de Massachusetts ou Rhode Island, anunciaram os respons\u00e1veis da Southcoast Health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

O Charlton Memorial \u00e9 o primeiro hospital da regi\u00e3o a oferecer e implantar o Dispositivo WATCHMAN FLX<\/a>O tratamento com o medicamento \"Southcoast\" \u00e9 uma alternativa \u00e0 utiliza\u00e7\u00e3o vital\u00edcia de anticoagulantes para pessoas com fibrilha\u00e7\u00e3o auricular n\u00e3o causada por um problema nas v\u00e1lvulas card\u00edacas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pensa-se que milh\u00f5es de americanos s\u00e3o afectados pela fibrilha\u00e7\u00e3o auricular - um ritmo card\u00edaco anormal caracterizado por um batimento card\u00edaco r\u00e1pido e irregular. Os indiv\u00edduos com fibrilha\u00e7\u00e3o auricular t\u00eam um maior risco de acidente vascular cerebral do que aqueles com ritmos card\u00edacos normais. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

O WATCHMAN FLX fecha uma \u00e1rea do cora\u00e7\u00e3o chamada ap\u00eandice atrial esquerdo para impedir que co\u00e1gulos sangu\u00edneos perigosos entrem na corrente sangu\u00ednea e possam causar um AVC. Ao selar a \u00e1rea, o risco de AVC pode ser reduzido e, com o tempo, os doentes podem deixar de tomar medicamentos para diluir o sangue. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"O WATCHMAN FLX \u00e9 um dispositivo inovador\", afirmou Nitesh Sood<\/a>, MD, Diretor do Programa de bem-estar para a fibrilha\u00e7\u00e3o auricular<\/a> no Centro de Cuidados Cardiovasculares do Southcoast Health no Charlton Memorial. \"Ao oferecer este procedimento, somos o principal hospital da regi\u00e3o para pacientes que procuram servi\u00e7os card\u00edacos avan\u00e7ados, equivalentes aos principais hospitais universit\u00e1rios.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A tecnologia de nova gera\u00e7\u00e3o tem um novo design e um dimensionamento adicional para ajudar a tratar mais doentes de forma segura e eficaz, de modo a garantir os melhores resultados a longo prazo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"O que distingue a nova gera\u00e7\u00e3o do WATCHMAN FLX s\u00e3o as op\u00e7\u00f5es de tamanho alargadas para corresponder a mais anatomias de doentes e o facto de os doentes n\u00e3o terem de ser colocados em Coumadin, conhecido como Varfarina, ap\u00f3s o procedimento\", afirma Adam Saltzman<\/a>MD, Diretor M\u00e9dico do Programa de Doen\u00e7as Card\u00edacas Estruturais e do Laborat\u00f3rio de Cateteriza\u00e7\u00e3o Card\u00edaca do Centro de Cuidados Cardiovasculares de Southcoast no Charlton Memorial. \"Em vez disso, os pacientes podem permanecer com qualquer anticoagulante que estavam a tomar antes do procedimento - com uma alta probabilidade de descontinuar o anticoagulante ap\u00f3s 45 dias e uma avalia\u00e7\u00e3o m\u00e9dica de acompanhamento.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Num ensaio cl\u00ednico<\/a>De acordo com as autoridades, 96% das pessoas conseguiram deixar de tomar anticoagulantes 45 dias ap\u00f3s a implanta\u00e7\u00e3o do WATCHMAN FLX.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Southcoast Health utiliza o WATCHMAN de primeira gera\u00e7\u00e3o h\u00e1 v\u00e1rios anos, tendo implantado o dispositivo em 230 doentes at\u00e9 \u00e0 data. O procedimento \u00e9 efectuado uma vez e n\u00e3o requer remo\u00e7\u00e3o ou substitui\u00e7\u00e3o - permanecendo invis\u00edvel do exterior do corpo. O procedimento \u00e9 efectuado sob anestesia geral e demora cerca de uma hora. Os doentes ficam normalmente no hospital durante a noite e saem no dia seguinte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Southcoast Health continua a dar prioridade aos avan\u00e7os m\u00e9dicos e \u00e0 investiga\u00e7\u00e3o como participante pioneiro na Ensaio do oclusor do AAE Amulet AMPLATZER<\/a>, Ensaio ASAP-TOO,<\/a> e o Prova de CAMPE\u00c3O<\/a>um ensaio multic\u00eantrico internacional, que demonstra que o WATCHMAN FLX pode ser uma terapia inicial para a preven\u00e7\u00e3o do AVC na FA. A participa\u00e7\u00e3o nestes ensaios permite que o centro cardiovascular continue a oferecer tecnologia de ponta e conhecimentos cl\u00ednicos especializados.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Esfor\u00e7amo-nos para que a Southcoast Health seja o principal destino desta regi\u00e3o para cardiovascular<\/a> cuidados\", afirmou o Dr. Saltzman. \"Ao oferecer os mais recentes avan\u00e7os tecnol\u00f3gicos, como o dispositivo WATCHMAN FLX, podemos oferecer aos nossos pacientes e \u00e0 comunidade da Costa Sul uma op\u00e7\u00e3o de tratamento de risco de AVC que pode mudar a vida\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Se tiver um historial de hemorragias ou um estilo de vida, profiss\u00e3o ou condi\u00e7\u00e3o que o coloque em risco de hemorragias, o WATCHMAN pode ser o ideal para si. Contacte o seu m\u00e9dico de cuidados prim\u00e1rios<\/a> ou o nosso cardiovascular<\/a> equipa para saber mais, ou aprender mais<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
