Left atrial appendage closure with Watchman device in prevention of thromboembolic complications in patients with atrial fibrillation: First experience in Serbia

Introduction. Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the major cause ofstroke, particularly in older patients over 75 years of age. EuropeanSociety of Cardiology guidelines recommend chronic anticoagulationtherapy in patients with atrial fibrillation ifCHA2DS2-VASc score is ≥ 1 (CHA2DS2-VASc score for estimati...
