TIME FRAME OF EVENT DATE COLLECTION: PATIENTS IN TRUVETA HEALTH SYSTEMS IMPLANTED WITH WATCHMAN FLX DEVICE BETWEEN JANUARY 2020 AND OCTOBER 2024. SUMMARY OF ADVERSE EVENTS: THE ANALYSIS REPORTS ON A PROPENSITY-SCORE MATCHED COHORT TO ASSESS OUTCOMES IN PATIENTS WITH A LEFT ATRIAL APPENDAGE CLOSURE (LAAC) DEVICE COMPARED TO THOSE RECEIVING NON-VITAMIN K ANTAGONIST ORAL ANTICOAGULANTS (NOAC). THE EVALUATION INCLUDES 90-DAY EVENT RATES FOR WATCHMAN FLX PRO AND 3-YEAR EVENT RATES FOR WATCHMAN FLX. REPORTED OUTCOMES ENCOMPASS THE FOLLOWING: PRIMARY ENDPOINT 1 (STROKE, DEATH, AND SYSTEMIC EMBOLISM), PRIMARY ENDPOINT 2 (NON-PROCEDURAL BLEEDING), ISCHEMIC STROKE, SYSTEMIC EMBOLISM, AND ALL-CAUSE MORTALITY. TOTAL NUMBER OF PATIENTS: 6397 DEVICE EVALUATION: UNDER THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE STUDY, ANONYMIZED DATA WAS PROVIDED. NO PRODUCTS WERE RETURNED AS PART OF THE STUDY. IT CANNOT BE DETERMINED IF THESE EVENTS HAVE BEEN PREVIOUSLY REPORTED OR IF THE DEVICES WERE RETURNED FOR ANALYSIS AS PART OF A PREVIOUSLY REPORTED SPONTANEOUS COMPLAINT. HOWEVER, THE EVENTS REPORTED WERE ANTICIPATED IN NATURE AS DEFINED BY THE "POTENTIAL ADVERSE EVENTS" LIST IN THE FDA-APPROVED INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE (IFU). CONTEXTUAL ANALYSIS OF STUDY DATA: OVERALL, THE 3-YEAR OUTCOMES AFTER WATCHMAN FLX IMPLANT AND 90-DAY OUTCOMES AFTER WATCHMAN FLX PRO IMPLANT THAT WERE FOUND DURING THIS ANALYSIS OF THE TRUVETA DATABASE ALIGN WITH WHAT IS EXPECTED BASED ON PUBLISHED LITERATURE. THE 3-YEAR INDIVIDUAL EVENT RATES REPORTED IN THIS ANALYSIS FOR WATCHMAN FLX FOR DEATH (12.8%), ISCHEMIC STROKE (3.8%), AND SYSTEMIC EMBOLISM (0.29%) FALL WITHIN OR BELOW EXPECTED RANGES. ALTHOUGH 3-YEAR PUBLISHED RATES FROM SIMILAR REGISTRY-BASED ANALYSES IN THE UNITED STATES ARE LIMITED, A MEDICARE-BASED ANALYSIS REPORTED A 44.2% MORTALITY RATE AT 5 YEARS WITH AN ESTIMATED 8-10% ANNUAL RATE, LEADING TOWARD AN ESTIMATED 3-YEAR RATE OF 24.0%-30.0%.1 THIS PUBLICATION ALSO FOUND AN ESTIMATED 1.0%-1.5% ANNUAL RATE OF ISCHEMIC STROKE (6.6% AT 5 YEARS; 3.0%-4.5% AT 3 YEARS)(1). A SIMILAR MEDICARE-BASED ANALYSIS SUPPORTS THESE RESULTS WITH KEY FINDINGS OF AN ESTIMATED 3-YEAR ISCHEMIC STROKE RATE OF 3.5%, AND A MORTALITY RATE NEAR 27% (2). A RANDOMIZED TRIAL WITH A SIMILAR GOAL OF COMPARING LAAC AND OACS OBSERVED A 15.6% RATE FOR ALL-CAUSE DEATH AT 3 YEARS (3) AND RECENT RANDOMIZED TRIAL LOOKING SPECIFICALLY AT WATCHMAN DEVICES REPORTED 3-YEAR RATES OF 29.0% FOR DEATH, 7.2% FOR ISCHEMIC STROKE, AND 2.2% FOR SYSTEMIC EMBOLISM (4). THE 90-DAY INDIVIDUAL EVENT RATES REPORTED IN THIS ANALYSIS FOR WATCHMAN FLX PRO FOR DEATH (0.56%), ISCHEMIC STROKE (1.11%), AND SYSTEMIC EMBOLISM (0.25%) ALSO FALL WITHIN EXPECTED RANGES. ALTHOUGH 90-DAY EVENT RATES ARE RARELY REPORTED, THE RATES FOUND IN THIS ANALYSIS FROM THE TRUVETA DATABASE FALL BELOW OR BETWEEN REPORTED 45-DAY AND 1-YEAR RATES. IN PUBLICATIONS FROM A NATIONWIDE REGISTRY, RATES OF ALL-CAUSE DEATH RANGED FROM 0.81% AT 45 DAYS TO 8.2%(5) AND 8.5%(6) AT 1 YEAR, ISCHEMIC STROKE RANGED FROM 0.23%(5) AT 45 DAYS TO 1.2%(5) AND 1.5%(6) AT 1 YEAR, AND SYSTEMIC EMBOLISM RANGED FROM 0.01%(5) AT 45 DAYS TO 0.68%(6) AT 1 YEAR. THUS, ALL 3-YEAR AND 90-DAY RATES FOUND IN THIS ANALYSIS ALIGN WITH EXPECTATIONS DERIVED FROM PUBLISHED LITERATURE. REFERENCES 1. ZEITLER EP, BIAN B, GRIFFITHS RI, ET AL.

The evaluation includes 90-day event rates for WATCHMAN FLX Pro and 3-year event rates for WATCHMAN FLX. Reported outcomes encompass the following: primary endpoint 1 (stroke, death, and systemic embolism), primary endpoint 2 (non-procedural bleeding), ischemic stroke, systemic embolism, and all-cause mortality.;;Total Number of Patients: 6397;;Device Evaluation: Under the terms and conditions of the study, anonymized data was provided. No products were returned as part of the study. It cannot be determined if these events have been previously reported or if the devices were returned for analysis as part of a previously reported spontaneous complaint. However, the events reported were anticipated in nature as defined by the ""Potential Adverse Events"" list in the FDA-approved Instructions for Use (IFU).;;Contextual Analysis of Study Data:;Overall, the 3-year outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX implant and 90-day outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX Pro implant that were found during this analysis of the Truveta database align with what is expected based on published literature. The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges. Although 90-day event rates are rarely reported, the rates found in this analysis from the Truveta database fall below or between reported 45-day and 1-year rates. In publications from a nationwide registry, rates of all-cause death ranged from 0.81% at 45 days to 8.2%(5) and 8.5%(6) at 1 year, ischemic stroke ranged from 0.23%(5) at 45 days to 1.2%(5) and 1.5%(6) at 1 year, and systemic embolism ranged from 0.01%(5) at 45 days to 0.68%(6) at 1 year. ;Thus, all 3-year and 90-day rates found in this analysis align with expectations derived from published literature.;;References;1.

The evaluation includes 90-day event rates for WATCHMAN FLX Pro and 3-year event rates for WATCHMAN FLX. Reported outcomes encompass the following: primary endpoint 1 (stroke, death, and systemic embolism), primary endpoint 2 (non-procedural bleeding), ischemic stroke, systemic embolism, and all-cause mortality.;;Total Number of Patients: 6397;;Device Evaluation: Under the terms and conditions of the study, anonymized data was provided.

It cannot be determined if these events have been previously reported or if the devices were returned for analysis as part of a previously reported spontaneous complaint. However, the events reported were anticipated in nature as defined by the ""Potential Adverse Events"" list in the FDA-approved Instructions for Use (IFU).;;Contextual Analysis of Study Data:;Overall, the 3-year outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX implant and 90-day outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX Pro implant that were found during this analysis of the Truveta database align with what is expected based on published literature. The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges. Although 90-day event rates are rarely reported, the rates found in this analysis from the Truveta database fall below or between reported 45-day and 1-year rates. In publications from a nationwide registry, rates of all-cause death ranged from 0.81% at 45 days to 8.2%(5) and 8.5%(6) at 1 year, ischemic stroke ranged from 0.23%(5) at 45 days to 1.2%(5) and 1.5%(6) at 1 year, and systemic embolism ranged from 0.01%(5) at 45 days to 0.68%(6) at 1 year. ;Thus, all 3-year and 90-day rates found in this analysis align with expectations derived from published literature.;;References;1.

The evaluation includes 90-day event rates for WATCHMAN FLX Pro and 3-year event rates for WATCHMAN FLX.

The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges.

The evaluation includes 90-day event rates for WATCHMAN FLX Pro and 3-year event rates for WATCHMAN FLX.

The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges.

The evaluation includes 90-day event rates for WATCHMAN FLX Pro and 3-year event rates for WATCHMAN FLX.

The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges.

The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges.

A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges.

The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges. Although 90-day event rates are rarely reported, the rates found in this analysis from the Truveta database fall below or between reported 45-day and 1-year rates. In publications from a nationwide registry, rates of all-cause death ranged from 0.81% at 45 days to 8.2%(5) and 8.5%(6) at 1 year, ischemic stroke ranged from 0.23%(5) at 45 days to 1.2%(5) and 1.5%(6) at 1 year, and systemic embolism ranged from 0.01%(5) at 45 days to 0.68%(6) at 1 year. ;Thus, all 3-year and 90-day rates found in this analysis align with expectations derived from published literature.;;References;1.

The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges. Although 90-day event rates are rarely reported, the rates found in this analysis from the Truveta database fall below or between reported 45-day and 1-year rates. In publications from a nationwide registry, rates of all-cause death ranged from 0.81% at 45 days to 8.2%(5) and 8.5%(6) at 1 year, ischemic stroke ranged from 0.23%(5) at 45 days to 1.2%(5) and 1.5%(6) at 1 year, and systemic embolism ranged from 0.01%(5) at 45 days to 0.68%(6) at 1 year. ;Thus, all 3-year and 90-day rates found in this analysis align with expectations derived from published literature.;;References;1.

Reported outcomes encompass the following: primary endpoint 1 (stroke, death, and systemic embolism), primary endpoint 2 (non-procedural bleeding), ischemic stroke, systemic embolism, and all-cause mortality.;;Total Number of Patients: 6397;;Device Evaluation: Under the terms and conditions of the study, anonymized data was provided. No products were returned as part of the study. It cannot be determined if these events have been previously reported or if the devices were returned for analysis as part of a previously reported spontaneous complaint. However, the events reported were anticipated in nature as defined by the ""Potential Adverse Events"" list in the FDA-approved Instructions for Use (IFU).;;Contextual Analysis of Study Data:;Overall, the 3-year outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX implant and 90-day outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX Pro implant that were found during this analysis of the Truveta database align with what is expected based on published literature. The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges. Although 90-day event rates are rarely reported, the rates found in this analysis from the Truveta database fall below or between reported 45-day and 1-year rates. In publications from a nationwide registry, rates of all-cause death ranged from 0.81% at 45 days to 8.2%(5) and 8.5%(6) at 1 year, ischemic stroke ranged from 0.23%(5) at 45 days to 1.2%(5) and 1.5%(6) at 1 year, and systemic embolism ranged from 0.01%(5) at 45 days to 0.68%(6) at 1 year. ;Thus, all 3-year and 90-day rates found in this analysis align with expectations derived from published literature.;;References;1.

The evaluation includes 90-day event rates for WATCHMAN FLX Pro and 3-year event rates for WATCHMAN FLX. Reported outcomes encompass the following: primary endpoint 1 (stroke, death, and systemic embolism), primary endpoint 2 (non-procedural bleeding), ischemic stroke, systemic embolism, and all-cause mortality.;;Total Number of Patients: 6397;;Device Evaluation: Under the terms and conditions of the study, anonymized data was provided. No products were returned as part of the study. It cannot be determined if these events have been previously reported or if the devices were returned for analysis as part of a previously reported spontaneous complaint. However, the events reported were anticipated in nature as defined by the ""Potential Adverse Events"" list in the FDA-approved Instructions for Use (IFU).;;Contextual Analysis of Study Data:;Overall, the 3-year outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX implant and 90-day outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX Pro implant that were found during this analysis of the Truveta database align with what is expected based on published literature. The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges. Although 90-day event rates are rarely reported, the rates found in this analysis from the Truveta database fall below or between reported 45-day and 1-year rates. In publications from a nationwide registry, rates of all-cause death ranged from 0.81% at 45 days to 8.2%(5) and 8.5%(6) at 1 year, ischemic stroke ranged from 0.23%(5) at 45 days to 1.2%(5) and 1.5%(6) at 1 year, and systemic embolism ranged from 0.01%(5) at 45 days to 0.68%(6) at 1 year. ;Thus, all 3-year and 90-day rates found in this analysis align with expectations derived from published literature.;;References;1.

The evaluation includes 90-day event rates for WATCHMAN FLX Pro and 3-year event rates for WATCHMAN FLX. Reported outcomes encompass the following: primary endpoint 1 (stroke, death, and systemic embolism), primary endpoint 2 (non-procedural bleeding), ischemic stroke, systemic embolism, and all-cause mortality.;;Total Number of Patients: 6397;;Device Evaluation: Under the terms and conditions of the study, anonymized data was provided.

However, the events reported were anticipated in nature as defined by the ""Potential Adverse Events"" list in the FDA-approved Instructions for Use (IFU).;;Contextual Analysis of Study Data:;Overall, the 3-year outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX implant and 90-day outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX Pro implant that were found during this analysis of the Truveta database align with what is expected based on published literature. The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges. Although 90-day event rates are rarely reported, the rates found in this analysis from the Truveta database fall below or between reported 45-day and 1-year rates. In publications from a nationwide registry, rates of all-cause death ranged from 0.81% at 45 days to 8.2%(5) and 8.5%(6) at 1 year, ischemic stroke ranged from 0.23%(5) at 45 days to 1.2%(5) and 1.5%(6) at 1 year, and systemic embolism ranged from 0.01%(5) at 45 days to 0.68%(6) at 1 year. ;Thus, all 3-year and 90-day rates found in this analysis align with expectations derived from published literature.;;References;1.

The evaluation includes 90-day event rates for WATCHMAN FLX Pro and 3-year event rates for WATCHMAN FLX. Reported outcomes encompass the following: primary endpoint 1 (stroke, death, and systemic embolism), primary endpoint 2 (non-procedural bleeding), ischemic stroke, systemic embolism, and all-cause mortality.;;Total Number of Patients: 6397;;Device Evaluation: Under the terms and conditions of the study, anonymized data was provided. No products were returned as part of the study. It cannot be determined if these events have been previously reported or if the devices were returned for analysis as part of a previously reported spontaneous complaint. However, the events reported were anticipated in nature as defined by the ""Potential Adverse Events"" list in the FDA-approved Instructions for Use (IFU).;;Contextual Analysis of Study Data:;Overall, the 3-year outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX implant and 90-day outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX Pro implant that were found during this analysis of the Truveta database align with what is expected based on published literature. The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges. Although 90-day event rates are rarely reported, the rates found in this analysis from the Truveta database fall below or between reported 45-day and 1-year rates. In publications from a nationwide registry, rates of all-cause death ranged from 0.81% at 45 days to 8.2%(5) and 8.5%(6) at 1 year, ischemic stroke ranged from 0.23%(5) at 45 days to 1.2%(5) and 1.5%(6) at 1 year, and systemic embolism ranged from 0.01%(5) at 45 days to 0.68%(6) at 1 year. ;Thus, all 3-year and 90-day rates found in this analysis align with expectations derived from published literature.;;References;1.

The evaluation includes 90-day event rates for WATCHMAN FLX Pro and 3-year event rates for WATCHMAN FLX. Reported outcomes encompass the following: primary endpoint 1 (stroke, death, and systemic embolism), primary endpoint 2 (non-procedural bleeding), ischemic stroke, systemic embolism, and all-cause mortality.;;Total Number of Patients: 6397;;Device Evaluation: Under the terms and conditions of the study, anonymized data was provided.

However, the events reported were anticipated in nature as defined by the ""Potential Adverse Events"" list in the FDA-approved Instructions for Use (IFU).;;Contextual Analysis of Study Data:;Overall, the 3-year outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX implant and 90-day outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX Pro implant that were found during this analysis of the Truveta database align with what is expected based on published literature. The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges. Although 90-day event rates are rarely reported, the rates found in this analysis from the Truveta database fall below or between reported 45-day and 1-year rates. In publications from a nationwide registry, rates of all-cause death ranged from 0.81% at 45 days to 8.2%(5) and 8.5%(6) at 1 year, ischemic stroke ranged from 0.23%(5) at 45 days to 1.2%(5) and 1.5%(6) at 1 year, and systemic embolism ranged from 0.01%(5) at 45 days to 0.68%(6) at 1 year. ;Thus, all 3-year and 90-day rates found in this analysis align with expectations derived from published literature.;;References;1.

The evaluation includes 90-day event rates for WATCHMAN FLX Pro and 3-year event rates for WATCHMAN FLX. Reported outcomes encompass the following: primary endpoint 1 (stroke, death, and systemic embolism), primary endpoint 2 (non-procedural bleeding), ischemic stroke, systemic embolism, and all-cause mortality.;;Total Number of Patients: 6397;;Device Evaluation: Under the terms and conditions of the study, anonymized data was provided. No products were returned as part of the study. It cannot be determined if these events have been previously reported or if the devices were returned for analysis as part of a previously reported spontaneous complaint. However, the events reported were anticipated in nature as defined by the ""Potential Adverse Events"" list in the FDA-approved Instructions for Use (IFU).;;Contextual Analysis of Study Data:;Overall, the 3-year outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX implant and 90-day outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX Pro implant that were found during this analysis of the Truveta database align with what is expected based on published literature. The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges. Although 90-day event rates are rarely reported, the rates found in this analysis from the Truveta database fall below or between reported 45-day and 1-year rates. In publications from a nationwide registry, rates of all-cause death ranged from 0.81% at 45 days to 8.2%(5) and 8.5%(6) at 1 year, ischemic stroke ranged from 0.23%(5) at 45 days to 1.2%(5) and 1.5%(6) at 1 year, and systemic embolism ranged from 0.01%(5) at 45 days to 0.68%(6) at 1 year. ;Thus, all 3-year and 90-day rates found in this analysis align with expectations derived from published literature.;;References;1.

The evaluation includes 90-day event rates for WATCHMAN FLX Pro and 3-year event rates for WATCHMAN FLX. Reported outcomes encompass the following: primary endpoint 1 (stroke, death, and systemic embolism), primary endpoint 2 (non-procedural bleeding), ischemic stroke, systemic embolism, and all-cause mortality.;;Total Number of Patients: 6397;;Device Evaluation: Under the terms and conditions of the study, anonymized data was provided.

It cannot be determined if these events have been previously reported or if the devices were returned for analysis as part of a previously reported spontaneous complaint. However, the events reported were anticipated in nature as defined by the ""Potential Adverse Events"" list in the FDA-approved Instructions for Use (IFU).;;Contextual Analysis of Study Data:;Overall, the 3-year outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX implant and 90-day outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX Pro implant that were found during this analysis of the Truveta database align with what is expected based on published literature. The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges. Although 90-day event rates are rarely reported, the rates found in this analysis from the Truveta database fall below or between reported 45-day and 1-year rates. In publications from a nationwide registry, rates of all-cause death ranged from 0.81% at 45 days to 8.2%(5) and 8.5%(6) at 1 year, ischemic stroke ranged from 0.23%(5) at 45 days to 1.2%(5) and 1.5%(6) at 1 year, and systemic embolism ranged from 0.01%(5) at 45 days to 0.68%(6) at 1 year. ;Thus, all 3-year and 90-day rates found in this analysis align with expectations derived from published literature.;;References;1.

The evaluation includes 90-day event rates for WATCHMAN FLX Pro and 3-year event rates for WATCHMAN FLX.

The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges.

The evaluation includes 90-day event rates for WATCHMAN FLX Pro and 3-year event rates for WATCHMAN FLX.

The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges.

The evaluation includes 90-day event rates for WATCHMAN FLX Pro and 3-year event rates for WATCHMAN FLX.

The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges.

The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges.

A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges.

The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges. Although 90-day event rates are rarely reported, the rates found in this analysis from the Truveta database fall below or between reported 45-day and 1-year rates. In publications from a nationwide registry, rates of all-cause death ranged from 0.81% at 45 days to 8.2%(5) and 8.5%(6) at 1 year, ischemic stroke ranged from 0.23%(5) at 45 days to 1.2%(5) and 1.5%(6) at 1 year, and systemic embolism ranged from 0.01%(5) at 45 days to 0.68%(6) at 1 year. ;Thus, all 3-year and 90-day rates found in this analysis align with expectations derived from published literature.;;References;1.

The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges. Although 90-day event rates are rarely reported, the rates found in this analysis from the Truveta database fall below or between reported 45-day and 1-year rates. In publications from a nationwide registry, rates of all-cause death ranged from 0.81% at 45 days to 8.2%(5) and 8.5%(6) at 1 year, ischemic stroke ranged from 0.23%(5) at 45 days to 1.2%(5) and 1.5%(6) at 1 year, and systemic embolism ranged from 0.01%(5) at 45 days to 0.68%(6) at 1 year. ;Thus, all 3-year and 90-day rates found in this analysis align with expectations derived from published literature.;;References;1.

Reported outcomes encompass the following: primary endpoint 1 (stroke, death, and systemic embolism), primary endpoint 2 (non-procedural bleeding), ischemic stroke, systemic embolism, and all-cause mortality.;;Total Number of Patients: 6397;;Device Evaluation: Under the terms and conditions of the study, anonymized data was provided. No products were returned as part of the study. It cannot be determined if these events have been previously reported or if the devices were returned for analysis as part of a previously reported spontaneous complaint. However, the events reported were anticipated in nature as defined by the ""Potential Adverse Events"" list in the FDA-approved Instructions for Use (IFU).;;Contextual Analysis of Study Data:;Overall, the 3-year outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX implant and 90-day outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX Pro implant that were found during this analysis of the Truveta database align with what is expected based on published literature. The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges. Although 90-day event rates are rarely reported, the rates found in this analysis from the Truveta database fall below or between reported 45-day and 1-year rates. In publications from a nationwide registry, rates of all-cause death ranged from 0.81% at 45 days to 8.2%(5) and 8.5%(6) at 1 year, ischemic stroke ranged from 0.23%(5) at 45 days to 1.2%(5) and 1.5%(6) at 1 year, and systemic embolism ranged from 0.01%(5) at 45 days to 0.68%(6) at 1 year. ;Thus, all 3-year and 90-day rates found in this analysis align with expectations derived from published literature.;;References;1.

The evaluation includes 90-day event rates for WATCHMAN FLX Pro and 3-year event rates for WATCHMAN FLX. Reported outcomes encompass the following: primary endpoint 1 (stroke, death, and systemic embolism), primary endpoint 2 (non-procedural bleeding), ischemic stroke, systemic embolism, and all-cause mortality.;;Total Number of Patients: 6397;;Device Evaluation: Under the terms and conditions of the study, anonymized data was provided. No products were returned as part of the study. It cannot be determined if these events have been previously reported or if the devices were returned for analysis as part of a previously reported spontaneous complaint. However, the events reported were anticipated in nature as defined by the ""Potential Adverse Events"" list in the FDA-approved Instructions for Use (IFU).;;Contextual Analysis of Study Data:;Overall, the 3-year outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX implant and 90-day outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX Pro implant that were found during this analysis of the Truveta database align with what is expected based on published literature. The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges. Although 90-day event rates are rarely reported, the rates found in this analysis from the Truveta database fall below or between reported 45-day and 1-year rates. In publications from a nationwide registry, rates of all-cause death ranged from 0.81% at 45 days to 8.2%(5) and 8.5%(6) at 1 year, ischemic stroke ranged from 0.23%(5) at 45 days to 1.2%(5) and 1.5%(6) at 1 year, and systemic embolism ranged from 0.01%(5) at 45 days to 0.68%(6) at 1 year. ;Thus, all 3-year and 90-day rates found in this analysis align with expectations derived from published literature.;;References;1.

The evaluation includes 90-day event rates for WATCHMAN FLX Pro and 3-year event rates for WATCHMAN FLX. Reported outcomes encompass the following: primary endpoint 1 (stroke, death, and systemic embolism), primary endpoint 2 (non-procedural bleeding), ischemic stroke, systemic embolism, and all-cause mortality.;;Total Number of Patients: 6397;;Device Evaluation: Under the terms and conditions of the study, anonymized data was provided.

However, the events reported were anticipated in nature as defined by the ""Potential Adverse Events"" list in the FDA-approved Instructions for Use (IFU).;;Contextual Analysis of Study Data:;Overall, the 3-year outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX implant and 90-day outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX Pro implant that were found during this analysis of the Truveta database align with what is expected based on published literature. The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges. Although 90-day event rates are rarely reported, the rates found in this analysis from the Truveta database fall below or between reported 45-day and 1-year rates. In publications from a nationwide registry, rates of all-cause death ranged from 0.81% at 45 days to 8.2%(5) and 8.5%(6) at 1 year, ischemic stroke ranged from 0.23%(5) at 45 days to 1.2%(5) and 1.5%(6) at 1 year, and systemic embolism ranged from 0.01%(5) at 45 days to 0.68%(6) at 1 year. ;Thus, all 3-year and 90-day rates found in this analysis align with expectations derived from published literature.;;References;1.

The evaluation includes 90-day event rates for WATCHMAN FLX Pro and 3-year event rates for WATCHMAN FLX. Reported outcomes encompass the following: primary endpoint 1 (stroke, death, and systemic embolism), primary endpoint 2 (non-procedural bleeding), ischemic stroke, systemic embolism, and all-cause mortality.;;Total Number of Patients: 6397;;Device Evaluation: Under the terms and conditions of the study, anonymized data was provided. No products were returned as part of the study. It cannot be determined if these events have been previously reported or if the devices were returned for analysis as part of a previously reported spontaneous complaint. However, the events reported were anticipated in nature as defined by the ""Potential Adverse Events"" list in the FDA-approved Instructions for Use (IFU).;;Contextual Analysis of Study Data:;Overall, the 3-year outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX implant and 90-day outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX Pro implant that were found during this analysis of the Truveta database align with what is expected based on published literature. The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges. Although 90-day event rates are rarely reported, the rates found in this analysis from the Truveta database fall below or between reported 45-day and 1-year rates. In publications from a nationwide registry, rates of all-cause death ranged from 0.81% at 45 days to 8.2%(5) and 8.5%(6) at 1 year, ischemic stroke ranged from 0.23%(5) at 45 days to 1.2%(5) and 1.5%(6) at 1 year, and systemic embolism ranged from 0.01%(5) at 45 days to 0.68%(6) at 1 year. ;Thus, all 3-year and 90-day rates found in this analysis align with expectations derived from published literature.;;References;1.

The evaluation includes 90-day event rates for WATCHMAN FLX Pro and 3-year event rates for WATCHMAN FLX. Reported outcomes encompass the following: primary endpoint 1 (stroke, death, and systemic embolism), primary endpoint 2 (non-procedural bleeding), ischemic stroke, systemic embolism, and all-cause mortality.;;Total Number of Patients: 6397;;Device Evaluation: Under the terms and conditions of the study, anonymized data was provided.

However, the events reported were anticipated in nature as defined by the ""Potential Adverse Events"" list in the FDA-approved Instructions for Use (IFU).;;Contextual Analysis of Study Data:;Overall, the 3-year outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX implant and 90-day outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX Pro implant that were found during this analysis of the Truveta database align with what is expected based on published literature. The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges. Although 90-day event rates are rarely reported, the rates found in this analysis from the Truveta database fall below or between reported 45-day and 1-year rates. In publications from a nationwide registry, rates of all-cause death ranged from 0.81% at 45 days to 8.2%(5) and 8.5%(6) at 1 year, ischemic stroke ranged from 0.23%(5) at 45 days to 1.2%(5) and 1.5%(6) at 1 year, and systemic embolism ranged from 0.01%(5) at 45 days to 0.68%(6) at 1 year. ;Thus, all 3-year and 90-day rates found in this analysis align with expectations derived from published literature.;;References;1.

The evaluation includes 90-day event rates for WATCHMAN FLX Pro and 3-year event rates for WATCHMAN FLX. Reported outcomes encompass the following: primary endpoint 1 (stroke, death, and systemic embolism), primary endpoint 2 (non-procedural bleeding), ischemic stroke, systemic embolism, and all-cause mortality.;;Total Number of Patients: 6397;;Device Evaluation: Under the terms and conditions of the study, anonymized data was provided. No products were returned as part of the study. It cannot be determined if these events have been previously reported or if the devices were returned for analysis as part of a previously reported spontaneous complaint. However, the events reported were anticipated in nature as defined by the ""Potential Adverse Events"" list in the FDA-approved Instructions for Use (IFU).;;Contextual Analysis of Study Data:;Overall, the 3-year outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX implant and 90-day outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX Pro implant that were found during this analysis of the Truveta database align with what is expected based on published literature. The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges. Although 90-day event rates are rarely reported, the rates found in this analysis from the Truveta database fall below or between reported 45-day and 1-year rates. In publications from a nationwide registry, rates of all-cause death ranged from 0.81% at 45 days to 8.2%(5) and 8.5%(6) at 1 year, ischemic stroke ranged from 0.23%(5) at 45 days to 1.2%(5) and 1.5%(6) at 1 year, and systemic embolism ranged from 0.01%(5) at 45 days to 0.68%(6) at 1 year. ;Thus, all 3-year and 90-day rates found in this analysis align with expectations derived from published literature.;;References;1.

The evaluation includes 90-day event rates for WATCHMAN FLX Pro and 3-year event rates for WATCHMAN FLX. Reported outcomes encompass the following: primary endpoint 1 (stroke, death, and systemic embolism), primary endpoint 2 (non-procedural bleeding), ischemic stroke, systemic embolism, and all-cause mortality.;;Total Number of Patients: 6397;;Device Evaluation: Under the terms and conditions of the study, anonymized data was provided. No products were returned as part of the study. It cannot be determined if these events have been previously reported or if the devices were returned for analysis as part of a previously reported spontaneous complaint. However, the events reported were anticipated in nature as defined by the ""Potential Adverse Events"" list in the FDA-approved Instructions for Use (IFU).;;Contextual Analysis of Study Data:;Overall, the 3-year outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX implant and 90-day outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX Pro implant that were found during this analysis of the Truveta database align with what is expected based on published literature. The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges. Although 90-day event rates are rarely reported, the rates found in this analysis from the Truveta database fall below or between reported 45-day and 1-year rates. In publications from a nationwide registry, rates of all-cause death ranged from 0.81% at 45 days to 8.2%(5) and 8.5%(6) at 1 year, ischemic stroke ranged from 0.23%(5) at 45 days to 1.2%(5) and 1.5%(6) at 1 year, and systemic embolism ranged from 0.01%(5) at 45 days to 0.68%(6) at 1 year. ;Thus, all 3-year and 90-day rates found in this analysis align with expectations derived from published literature.;;References;1.

The evaluation includes 90-day event rates for WATCHMAN FLX Pro and 3-year event rates for WATCHMAN FLX. Reported outcomes encompass the following: primary endpoint 1 (stroke, death, and systemic embolism), primary endpoint 2 (non-procedural bleeding), ischemic stroke, systemic embolism, and all-cause mortality.;;Total Number of Patients: 6397;;Device Evaluation: Under the terms and conditions of the study, anonymized data was provided.

However, the events reported were anticipated in nature as defined by the ""Potential Adverse Events"" list in the FDA-approved Instructions for Use (IFU).;;Contextual Analysis of Study Data:;Overall, the 3-year outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX implant and 90-day outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX Pro implant that were found during this analysis of the Truveta database align with what is expected based on published literature. The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges. Although 90-day event rates are rarely reported, the rates found in this analysis from the Truveta database fall below or between reported 45-day and 1-year rates. In publications from a nationwide registry, rates of all-cause death ranged from 0.81% at 45 days to 8.2%(5) and 8.5%(6) at 1 year, ischemic stroke ranged from 0.23%(5) at 45 days to 1.2%(5) and 1.5%(6) at 1 year, and systemic embolism ranged from 0.01%(5) at 45 days to 0.68%(6) at 1 year. ;Thus, all 3-year and 90-day rates found in this analysis align with expectations derived from published literature.;;References;1.

The evaluation includes 90-day event rates for WATCHMAN FLX Pro and 3-year event rates for WATCHMAN FLX. Reported outcomes encompass the following: primary endpoint 1 (stroke, death, and systemic embolism), primary endpoint 2 (non-procedural bleeding), ischemic stroke, systemic embolism, and all-cause mortality.;;Total Number of Patients: 6397;;Device Evaluation: Under the terms and conditions of the study, anonymized data was provided.

However, the events reported were anticipated in nature as defined by the ""Potential Adverse Events"" list in the FDA-approved Instructions for Use (IFU).;;Contextual Analysis of Study Data:;Overall, the 3-year outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX implant and 90-day outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX Pro implant that were found during this analysis of the Truveta database align with what is expected based on published literature. The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges. Although 90-day event rates are rarely reported, the rates found in this analysis from the Truveta database fall below or between reported 45-day and 1-year rates. In publications from a nationwide registry, rates of all-cause death ranged from 0.81% at 45 days to 8.2%(5) and 8.5%(6) at 1 year, ischemic stroke ranged from 0.23%(5) at 45 days to 1.2%(5) and 1.5%(6) at 1 year, and systemic embolism ranged from 0.01%(5) at 45 days to 0.68%(6) at 1 year. ;Thus, all 3-year and 90-day rates found in this analysis align with expectations derived from published literature.;;References;1.

The evaluation includes 90-day event rates for WATCHMAN FLX Pro and 3-year event rates for WATCHMAN FLX. Reported outcomes encompass the following: primary endpoint 1 (stroke, death, and systemic embolism), primary endpoint 2 (non-procedural bleeding), ischemic stroke, systemic embolism, and all-cause mortality.;;Total Number of Patients: 6397;;Device Evaluation: Under the terms and conditions of the study, anonymized data was provided.

However, the events reported were anticipated in nature as defined by the ""Potential Adverse Events"" list in the FDA-approved Instructions for Use (IFU).;;Contextual Analysis of Study Data:;Overall, the 3-year outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX implant and 90-day outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX Pro implant that were found during this analysis of the Truveta database align with what is expected based on published literature. The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges. Although 90-day event rates are rarely reported, the rates found in this analysis from the Truveta database fall below or between reported 45-day and 1-year rates. In publications from a nationwide registry, rates of all-cause death ranged from 0.81% at 45 days to 8.2%(5) and 8.5%(6) at 1 year, ischemic stroke ranged from 0.23%(5) at 45 days to 1.2%(5) and 1.5%(6) at 1 year, and systemic embolism ranged from 0.01%(5) at 45 days to 0.68%(6) at 1 year. ;Thus, all 3-year and 90-day rates found in this analysis align with expectations derived from published literature.;;References;1.

The evaluation includes 90-day event rates for WATCHMAN FLX Pro and 3-year event rates for WATCHMAN FLX. Reported outcomes encompass the following: primary endpoint 1 (stroke, death, and systemic embolism), primary endpoint 2 (non-procedural bleeding), ischemic stroke, systemic embolism, and all-cause mortality.;;Total Number of Patients: 6397;;Device Evaluation: Under the terms and conditions of the study, anonymized data was provided.

The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges.

A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges. Although 90-day event rates are rarely reported, the rates found in this analysis from the Truveta database fall below or between reported 45-day and 1-year rates. In publications from a nationwide registry, rates of all-cause death ranged from 0.81% at 45 days to 8.2%(5) and 8.5%(6) at 1 year, ischemic stroke ranged from 0.23%(5) at 45 days to 1.2%(5) and 1.5%(6) at 1 year, and systemic embolism ranged from 0.01%(5) at 45 days to 0.68%(6) at 1 year. ;Thus, all 3-year and 90-day rates found in this analysis align with expectations derived from published literature.;;References;1.

The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges. Although 90-day event rates are rarely reported, the rates found in this analysis from the Truveta database fall below or between reported 45-day and 1-year rates. In publications from a nationwide registry, rates of all-cause death ranged from 0.81% at 45 days to 8.2%(5) and 8.5%(6) at 1 year, ischemic stroke ranged from 0.23%(5) at 45 days to 1.2%(5) and 1.5%(6) at 1 year, and systemic embolism ranged from 0.01%(5) at 45 days to 0.68%(6) at 1 year. ;Thus, all 3-year and 90-day rates found in this analysis align with expectations derived from published literature.;;References;1.

The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges. Although 90-day event rates are rarely reported, the rates found in this analysis from the Truveta database fall below or between reported 45-day and 1-year rates. In publications from a nationwide registry, rates of all-cause death ranged from 0.81% at 45 days to 8.2%(5) and 8.5%(6) at 1 year, ischemic stroke ranged from 0.23%(5) at 45 days to 1.2%(5) and 1.5%(6) at 1 year, and systemic embolism ranged from 0.01%(5) at 45 days to 0.68%(6) at 1 year. ;Thus, all 3-year and 90-day rates found in this analysis align with expectations derived from published literature.;;References;1.

Reported outcomes encompass the following: primary endpoint 1 (stroke, death, and systemic embolism), primary endpoint 2 (non-procedural bleeding), ischemic stroke, systemic embolism, and all-cause mortality.;;Total Number of Patients: 6397;;Device Evaluation: Under the terms and conditions of the study, anonymized data was provided. No products were returned as part of the study. It cannot be determined if these events have been previously reported or if the devices were returned for analysis as part of a previously reported spontaneous complaint. However, the events reported were anticipated in nature as defined by the ""Potential Adverse Events"" list in the FDA-approved Instructions for Use (IFU).;;Contextual Analysis of Study Data:;Overall, the 3-year outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX implant and 90-day outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX Pro implant that were found during this analysis of the Truveta database align with what is expected based on published literature. The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges. Although 90-day event rates are rarely reported, the rates found in this analysis from the Truveta database fall below or between reported 45-day and 1-year rates. In publications from a nationwide registry, rates of all-cause death ranged from 0.81% at 45 days to 8.2%(5) and 8.5%(6) at 1 year, ischemic stroke ranged from 0.23%(5) at 45 days to 1.2%(5) and 1.5%(6) at 1 year, and systemic embolism ranged from 0.01%(5) at 45 days to 0.68%(6) at 1 year. ;Thus, all 3-year and 90-day rates found in this analysis align with expectations derived from published literature.;;References;1.

The evaluation includes 90-day event rates for WATCHMAN FLX Pro and 3-year event rates for WATCHMAN FLX. Reported outcomes encompass the following: primary endpoint 1 (stroke, death, and systemic embolism), primary endpoint 2 (non-procedural bleeding), ischemic stroke, systemic embolism, and all-cause mortality.;;Total Number of Patients: 6397;;Device Evaluation: Under the terms and conditions of the study, anonymized data was provided. No products were returned as part of the study. It cannot be determined if these events have been previously reported or if the devices were returned for analysis as part of a previously reported spontaneous complaint. However, the events reported were anticipated in nature as defined by the ""Potential Adverse Events"" list in the FDA-approved Instructions for Use (IFU).;;Contextual Analysis of Study Data:;Overall, the 3-year outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX implant and 90-day outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX Pro implant that were found during this analysis of the Truveta database align with what is expected based on published literature. The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges. Although 90-day event rates are rarely reported, the rates found in this analysis from the Truveta database fall below or between reported 45-day and 1-year rates. In publications from a nationwide registry, rates of all-cause death ranged from 0.81% at 45 days to 8.2%(5) and 8.5%(6) at 1 year, ischemic stroke ranged from 0.23%(5) at 45 days to 1.2%(5) and 1.5%(6) at 1 year, and systemic embolism ranged from 0.01%(5) at 45 days to 0.68%(6) at 1 year. ;Thus, all 3-year and 90-day rates found in this analysis align with expectations derived from published literature.;;References;1.

The evaluation includes 90-day event rates for WATCHMAN FLX Pro and 3-year event rates for WATCHMAN FLX. Reported outcomes encompass the following: primary endpoint 1 (stroke, death, and systemic embolism), primary endpoint 2 (non-procedural bleeding), ischemic stroke, systemic embolism, and all-cause mortality.;;Total Number of Patients: 6397;;Device Evaluation: Under the terms and conditions of the study, anonymized data was provided. No products were returned as part of the study. It cannot be determined if these events have been previously reported or if the devices were returned for analysis as part of a previously reported spontaneous complaint. However, the events reported were anticipated in nature as defined by the ""Potential Adverse Events"" list in the FDA-approved Instructions for Use (IFU).;;Contextual Analysis of Study Data:;Overall, the 3-year outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX implant and 90-day outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX Pro implant that were found during this analysis of the Truveta database align with what is expected based on published literature. The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges. Although 90-day event rates are rarely reported, the rates found in this analysis from the Truveta database fall below or between reported 45-day and 1-year rates. In publications from a nationwide registry, rates of all-cause death ranged from 0.81% at 45 days to 8.2%(5) and 8.5%(6) at 1 year, ischemic stroke ranged from 0.23%(5) at 45 days to 1.2%(5) and 1.5%(6) at 1 year, and systemic embolism ranged from 0.01%(5) at 45 days to 0.68%(6) at 1 year. ;Thus, all 3-year and 90-day rates found in this analysis align with expectations derived from published literature.;;References;1.

The evaluation includes 90-day event rates for WATCHMAN FLX Pro and 3-year event rates for WATCHMAN FLX. Reported outcomes encompass the following: primary endpoint 1 (stroke, death, and systemic embolism), primary endpoint 2 (non-procedural bleeding), ischemic stroke, systemic embolism, and all-cause mortality.;;Total Number of Patients: 6397;;Device Evaluation: Under the terms and conditions of the study, anonymized data was provided. No products were returned as part of the study. It cannot be determined if these events have been previously reported or if the devices were returned for analysis as part of a previously reported spontaneous complaint. However, the events reported were anticipated in nature as defined by the ""Potential Adverse Events"" list in the FDA-approved Instructions for Use (IFU).;;Contextual Analysis of Study Data:;Overall, the 3-year outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX implant and 90-day outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX Pro implant that were found during this analysis of the Truveta database align with what is expected based on published literature. The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges. Although 90-day event rates are rarely reported, the rates found in this analysis from the Truveta database fall below or between reported 45-day and 1-year rates. In publications from a nationwide registry, rates of all-cause death ranged from 0.81% at 45 days to 8.2%(5) and 8.5%(6) at 1 year, ischemic stroke ranged from 0.23%(5) at 45 days to 1.2%(5) and 1.5%(6) at 1 year, and systemic embolism ranged from 0.01%(5) at 45 days to 0.68%(6) at 1 year. ;Thus, all 3-year and 90-day rates found in this analysis align with expectations derived from published literature.;;References;1.

The evaluation includes 90-day event rates for WATCHMAN FLX Pro and 3-year event rates for WATCHMAN FLX. Reported outcomes encompass the following: primary endpoint 1 (stroke, death, and systemic embolism), primary endpoint 2 (non-procedural bleeding), ischemic stroke, systemic embolism, and all-cause mortality.;;Total Number of Patients: 6397;;Device Evaluation: Under the terms and conditions of the study, anonymized data was provided.

It cannot be determined if these events have been previously reported or if the devices were returned for analysis as part of a previously reported spontaneous complaint. However, the events reported were anticipated in nature as defined by the ""Potential Adverse Events"" list in the FDA-approved Instructions for Use (IFU).;;Contextual Analysis of Study Data:;Overall, the 3-year outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX implant and 90-day outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX Pro implant that were found during this analysis of the Truveta database align with what is expected based on published literature. The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges. Although 90-day event rates are rarely reported, the rates found in this analysis from the Truveta database fall below or between reported 45-day and 1-year rates. In publications from a nationwide registry, rates of all-cause death ranged from 0.81% at 45 days to 8.2%(5) and 8.5%(6) at 1 year, ischemic stroke ranged from 0.23%(5) at 45 days to 1.2%(5) and 1.5%(6) at 1 year, and systemic embolism ranged from 0.01%(5) at 45 days to 0.68%(6) at 1 year. ;Thus, all 3-year and 90-day rates found in this analysis align with expectations derived from published literature.;;References;1.

The evaluation includes 90-day event rates for WATCHMAN FLX Pro and 3-year event rates for WATCHMAN FLX. Reported outcomes encompass the following: primary endpoint 1 (stroke, death, and systemic embolism), primary endpoint 2 (non-procedural bleeding), ischemic stroke, systemic embolism, and all-cause mortality.;;Total Number of Patients: 6397;;Device Evaluation: Under the terms and conditions of the study, anonymized data was provided. No products were returned as part of the study. It cannot be determined if these events have been previously reported or if the devices were returned for analysis as part of a previously reported spontaneous complaint. However, the events reported were anticipated in nature as defined by the ""Potential Adverse Events"" list in the FDA-approved Instructions for Use (IFU).;;Contextual Analysis of Study Data:;Overall, the 3-year outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX implant and 90-day outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX Pro implant that were found during this analysis of the Truveta database align with what is expected based on published literature. The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges. Although 90-day event rates are rarely reported, the rates found in this analysis from the Truveta database fall below or between reported 45-day and 1-year rates. In publications from a nationwide registry, rates of all-cause death ranged from 0.81% at 45 days to 8.2%(5) and 8.5%(6) at 1 year, ischemic stroke ranged from 0.23%(5) at 45 days to 1.2%(5) and 1.5%(6) at 1 year, and systemic embolism ranged from 0.01%(5) at 45 days to 0.68%(6) at 1 year. ;Thus, all 3-year and 90-day rates found in this analysis align with expectations derived from published literature.;;References;1.

The evaluation includes 90-day event rates for WATCHMAN FLX Pro and 3-year event rates for WATCHMAN FLX. Reported outcomes encompass the following: primary endpoint 1 (stroke, death, and systemic embolism), primary endpoint 2 (non-procedural bleeding), ischemic stroke, systemic embolism, and all-cause mortality.;;Total Number of Patients: 6397;;Device Evaluation: Under the terms and conditions of the study, anonymized data was provided. No products were returned as part of the study. It cannot be determined if these events have been previously reported or if the devices were returned for analysis as part of a previously reported spontaneous complaint. However, the events reported were anticipated in nature as defined by the ""Potential Adverse Events"" list in the FDA-approved Instructions for Use (IFU).;;Contextual Analysis of Study Data:;Overall, the 3-year outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX implant and 90-day outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX Pro implant that were found during this analysis of the Truveta database align with what is expected based on published literature. The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges. Although 90-day event rates are rarely reported, the rates found in this analysis from the Truveta database fall below or between reported 45-day and 1-year rates. In publications from a nationwide registry, rates of all-cause death ranged from 0.81% at 45 days to 8.2%(5) and 8.5%(6) at 1 year, ischemic stroke ranged from 0.23%(5) at 45 days to 1.2%(5) and 1.5%(6) at 1 year, and systemic embolism ranged from 0.01%(5) at 45 days to 0.68%(6) at 1 year. ;Thus, all 3-year and 90-day rates found in this analysis align with expectations derived from published literature.;;References;1.

The evaluation includes 90-day event rates for WATCHMAN FLX Pro and 3-year event rates for WATCHMAN FLX. Reported outcomes encompass the following: primary endpoint 1 (stroke, death, and systemic embolism), primary endpoint 2 (non-procedural bleeding), ischemic stroke, systemic embolism, and all-cause mortality.;;Total Number of Patients: 6397;;Device Evaluation: Under the terms and conditions of the study, anonymized data was provided.

However, the events reported were anticipated in nature as defined by the ""Potential Adverse Events"" list in the FDA-approved Instructions for Use (IFU).;;Contextual Analysis of Study Data:;Overall, the 3-year outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX implant and 90-day outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX Pro implant that were found during this analysis of the Truveta database align with what is expected based on published literature. The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges. Although 90-day event rates are rarely reported, the rates found in this analysis from the Truveta database fall below or between reported 45-day and 1-year rates. In publications from a nationwide registry, rates of all-cause death ranged from 0.81% at 45 days to 8.2%(5) and 8.5%(6) at 1 year, ischemic stroke ranged from 0.23%(5) at 45 days to 1.2%(5) and 1.5%(6) at 1 year, and systemic embolism ranged from 0.01%(5) at 45 days to 0.68%(6) at 1 year. ;Thus, all 3-year and 90-day rates found in this analysis align with expectations derived from published literature.;;References;1.

The evaluation includes 90-day event rates for WATCHMAN FLX Pro and 3-year event rates for WATCHMAN FLX. Reported outcomes encompass the following: primary endpoint 1 (stroke, death, and systemic embolism), primary endpoint 2 (non-procedural bleeding), ischemic stroke, systemic embolism, and all-cause mortality.;;Total Number of Patients: 6397;;Device Evaluation: Under the terms and conditions of the study, anonymized data was provided.

However, the events reported were anticipated in nature as defined by the ""Potential Adverse Events"" list in the FDA-approved Instructions for Use (IFU).;;Contextual Analysis of Study Data:;Overall, the 3-year outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX implant and 90-day outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX Pro implant that were found during this analysis of the Truveta database align with what is expected based on published literature. The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges. Although 90-day event rates are rarely reported, the rates found in this analysis from the Truveta database fall below or between reported 45-day and 1-year rates. In publications from a nationwide registry, rates of all-cause death ranged from 0.81% at 45 days to 8.2%(5) and 8.5%(6) at 1 year, ischemic stroke ranged from 0.23%(5) at 45 days to 1.2%(5) and 1.5%(6) at 1 year, and systemic embolism ranged from 0.01%(5) at 45 days to 0.68%(6) at 1 year. ;Thus, all 3-year and 90-day rates found in this analysis align with expectations derived from published literature.;;References;1.

The evaluation includes 90-day event rates for WATCHMAN FLX Pro and 3-year event rates for WATCHMAN FLX. Reported outcomes encompass the following: primary endpoint 1 (stroke, death, and systemic embolism), primary endpoint 2 (non-procedural bleeding), ischemic stroke, systemic embolism, and all-cause mortality.;;Total Number of Patients: 6397;;Device Evaluation: Under the terms and conditions of the study, anonymized data was provided.

However, the events reported were anticipated in nature as defined by the ""Potential Adverse Events"" list in the FDA-approved Instructions for Use (IFU).;;Contextual Analysis of Study Data:;Overall, the 3-year outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX implant and 90-day outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX Pro implant that were found during this analysis of the Truveta database align with what is expected based on published literature. The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges. Although 90-day event rates are rarely reported, the rates found in this analysis from the Truveta database fall below or between reported 45-day and 1-year rates. In publications from a nationwide registry, rates of all-cause death ranged from 0.81% at 45 days to 8.2%(5) and 8.5%(6) at 1 year, ischemic stroke ranged from 0.23%(5) at 45 days to 1.2%(5) and 1.5%(6) at 1 year, and systemic embolism ranged from 0.01%(5) at 45 days to 0.68%(6) at 1 year. ;Thus, all 3-year and 90-day rates found in this analysis align with expectations derived from published literature.;;References;1.

The evaluation includes 90-day event rates for WATCHMAN FLX Pro and 3-year event rates for WATCHMAN FLX. Reported outcomes encompass the following: primary endpoint 1 (stroke, death, and systemic embolism), primary endpoint 2 (non-procedural bleeding), ischemic stroke, systemic embolism, and all-cause mortality.;;Total Number of Patients: 6397;;Device Evaluation: Under the terms and conditions of the study, anonymized data was provided.

The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges.

A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges. Although 90-day event rates are rarely reported, the rates found in this analysis from the Truveta database fall below or between reported 45-day and 1-year rates. In publications from a nationwide registry, rates of all-cause death ranged from 0.81% at 45 days to 8.2%(5) and 8.5%(6) at 1 year, ischemic stroke ranged from 0.23%(5) at 45 days to 1.2%(5) and 1.5%(6) at 1 year, and systemic embolism ranged from 0.01%(5) at 45 days to 0.68%(6) at 1 year. ;Thus, all 3-year and 90-day rates found in this analysis align with expectations derived from published literature.;;References;1.

The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges. Although 90-day event rates are rarely reported, the rates found in this analysis from the Truveta database fall below or between reported 45-day and 1-year rates. In publications from a nationwide registry, rates of all-cause death ranged from 0.81% at 45 days to 8.2%(5) and 8.5%(6) at 1 year, ischemic stroke ranged from 0.23%(5) at 45 days to 1.2%(5) and 1.5%(6) at 1 year, and systemic embolism ranged from 0.01%(5) at 45 days to 0.68%(6) at 1 year. ;Thus, all 3-year and 90-day rates found in this analysis align with expectations derived from published literature.;;References;1.

The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges. Although 90-day event rates are rarely reported, the rates found in this analysis from the Truveta database fall below or between reported 45-day and 1-year rates. In publications from a nationwide registry, rates of all-cause death ranged from 0.81% at 45 days to 8.2%(5) and 8.5%(6) at 1 year, ischemic stroke ranged from 0.23%(5) at 45 days to 1.2%(5) and 1.5%(6) at 1 year, and systemic embolism ranged from 0.01%(5) at 45 days to 0.68%(6) at 1 year. ;Thus, all 3-year and 90-day rates found in this analysis align with expectations derived from published literature.;;References;1.

Reported outcomes encompass the following: primary endpoint 1 (stroke, death, and systemic embolism), primary endpoint 2 (non-procedural bleeding), ischemic stroke, systemic embolism, and all-cause mortality.;;Total Number of Patients: 6397;;Device Evaluation: Under the terms and conditions of the study, anonymized data was provided. No products were returned as part of the study. It cannot be determined if these events have been previously reported or if the devices were returned for analysis as part of a previously reported spontaneous complaint. However, the events reported were anticipated in nature as defined by the ""Potential Adverse Events"" list in the FDA-approved Instructions for Use (IFU).;;Contextual Analysis of Study Data:;Overall, the 3-year outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX implant and 90-day outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX Pro implant that were found during this analysis of the Truveta database align with what is expected based on published literature. The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges. Although 90-day event rates are rarely reported, the rates found in this analysis from the Truveta database fall below or between reported 45-day and 1-year rates. In publications from a nationwide registry, rates of all-cause death ranged from 0.81% at 45 days to 8.2%(5) and 8.5%(6) at 1 year, ischemic stroke ranged from 0.23%(5) at 45 days to 1.2%(5) and 1.5%(6) at 1 year, and systemic embolism ranged from 0.01%(5) at 45 days to 0.68%(6) at 1 year. ;Thus, all 3-year and 90-day rates found in this analysis align with expectations derived from published literature.;;References;1.

The evaluation includes 90-day event rates for WATCHMAN FLX Pro and 3-year event rates for WATCHMAN FLX. Reported outcomes encompass the following: primary endpoint 1 (stroke, death, and systemic embolism), primary endpoint 2 (non-procedural bleeding), ischemic stroke, systemic embolism, and all-cause mortality.;;Total Number of Patients: 6397;;Device Evaluation: Under the terms and conditions of the study, anonymized data was provided. No products were returned as part of the study. It cannot be determined if these events have been previously reported or if the devices were returned for analysis as part of a previously reported spontaneous complaint. However, the events reported were anticipated in nature as defined by the ""Potential Adverse Events"" list in the FDA-approved Instructions for Use (IFU).;;Contextual Analysis of Study Data:;Overall, the 3-year outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX implant and 90-day outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX Pro implant that were found during this analysis of the Truveta database align with what is expected based on published literature. The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges. Although 90-day event rates are rarely reported, the rates found in this analysis from the Truveta database fall below or between reported 45-day and 1-year rates. In publications from a nationwide registry, rates of all-cause death ranged from 0.81% at 45 days to 8.2%(5) and 8.5%(6) at 1 year, ischemic stroke ranged from 0.23%(5) at 45 days to 1.2%(5) and 1.5%(6) at 1 year, and systemic embolism ranged from 0.01%(5) at 45 days to 0.68%(6) at 1 year. ;Thus, all 3-year and 90-day rates found in this analysis align with expectations derived from published literature.;;References;1.

The evaluation includes 90-day event rates for WATCHMAN FLX Pro and 3-year event rates for WATCHMAN FLX. Reported outcomes encompass the following: primary endpoint 1 (stroke, death, and systemic embolism), primary endpoint 2 (non-procedural bleeding), ischemic stroke, systemic embolism, and all-cause mortality.;;Total Number of Patients: 6397;;Device Evaluation: Under the terms and conditions of the study, anonymized data was provided. No products were returned as part of the study. It cannot be determined if these events have been previously reported or if the devices were returned for analysis as part of a previously reported spontaneous complaint. However, the events reported were anticipated in nature as defined by the ""Potential Adverse Events"" list in the FDA-approved Instructions for Use (IFU).;;Contextual Analysis of Study Data:;Overall, the 3-year outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX implant and 90-day outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX Pro implant that were found during this analysis of the Truveta database align with what is expected based on published literature. The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges. Although 90-day event rates are rarely reported, the rates found in this analysis from the Truveta database fall below or between reported 45-day and 1-year rates. In publications from a nationwide registry, rates of all-cause death ranged from 0.81% at 45 days to 8.2%(5) and 8.5%(6) at 1 year, ischemic stroke ranged from 0.23%(5) at 45 days to 1.2%(5) and 1.5%(6) at 1 year, and systemic embolism ranged from 0.01%(5) at 45 days to 0.68%(6) at 1 year. ;Thus, all 3-year and 90-day rates found in this analysis align with expectations derived from published literature.;;References;1.

The evaluation includes 90-day event rates for WATCHMAN FLX Pro and 3-year event rates for WATCHMAN FLX. Reported outcomes encompass the following: primary endpoint 1 (stroke, death, and systemic embolism), primary endpoint 2 (non-procedural bleeding), ischemic stroke, systemic embolism, and all-cause mortality.;;Total Number of Patients: 6397;;Device Evaluation: Under the terms and conditions of the study, anonymized data was provided. No products were returned as part of the study. It cannot be determined if these events have been previously reported or if the devices were returned for analysis as part of a previously reported spontaneous complaint. However, the events reported were anticipated in nature as defined by the ""Potential Adverse Events"" list in the FDA-approved Instructions for Use (IFU).;;Contextual Analysis of Study Data:;Overall, the 3-year outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX implant and 90-day outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX Pro implant that were found during this analysis of the Truveta database align with what is expected based on published literature. The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges. Although 90-day event rates are rarely reported, the rates found in this analysis from the Truveta database fall below or between reported 45-day and 1-year rates. In publications from a nationwide registry, rates of all-cause death ranged from 0.81% at 45 days to 8.2%(5) and 8.5%(6) at 1 year, ischemic stroke ranged from 0.23%(5) at 45 days to 1.2%(5) and 1.5%(6) at 1 year, and systemic embolism ranged from 0.01%(5) at 45 days to 0.68%(6) at 1 year. ;Thus, all 3-year and 90-day rates found in this analysis align with expectations derived from published literature.;;References;1.

The evaluation includes 90-day event rates for WATCHMAN FLX Pro and 3-year event rates for WATCHMAN FLX. Reported outcomes encompass the following: primary endpoint 1 (stroke, death, and systemic embolism), primary endpoint 2 (non-procedural bleeding), ischemic stroke, systemic embolism, and all-cause mortality.;;Total Number of Patients: 6397;;Device Evaluation: Under the terms and conditions of the study, anonymized data was provided.

It cannot be determined if these events have been previously reported or if the devices were returned for analysis as part of a previously reported spontaneous complaint. However, the events reported were anticipated in nature as defined by the ""Potential Adverse Events"" list in the FDA-approved Instructions for Use (IFU).;;Contextual Analysis of Study Data:;Overall, the 3-year outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX implant and 90-day outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX Pro implant that were found during this analysis of the Truveta database align with what is expected based on published literature. The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges. Although 90-day event rates are rarely reported, the rates found in this analysis from the Truveta database fall below or between reported 45-day and 1-year rates. In publications from a nationwide registry, rates of all-cause death ranged from 0.81% at 45 days to 8.2%(5) and 8.5%(6) at 1 year, ischemic stroke ranged from 0.23%(5) at 45 days to 1.2%(5) and 1.5%(6) at 1 year, and systemic embolism ranged from 0.01%(5) at 45 days to 0.68%(6) at 1 year. ;Thus, all 3-year and 90-day rates found in this analysis align with expectations derived from published literature.;;References;1.

The evaluation includes 90-day event rates for WATCHMAN FLX Pro and 3-year event rates for WATCHMAN FLX. Reported outcomes encompass the following: primary endpoint 1 (stroke, death, and systemic embolism), primary endpoint 2 (non-procedural bleeding), ischemic stroke, systemic embolism, and all-cause mortality.;;Total Number of Patients: 6397;;Device Evaluation: Under the terms and conditions of the study, anonymized data was provided. No products were returned as part of the study. It cannot be determined if these events have been previously reported or if the devices were returned for analysis as part of a previously reported spontaneous complaint. However, the events reported were anticipated in nature as defined by the ""Potential Adverse Events"" list in the FDA-approved Instructions for Use (IFU).;;Contextual Analysis of Study Data:;Overall, the 3-year outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX implant and 90-day outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX Pro implant that were found during this analysis of the Truveta database align with what is expected based on published literature. The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges. Although 90-day event rates are rarely reported, the rates found in this analysis from the Truveta database fall below or between reported 45-day and 1-year rates. In publications from a nationwide registry, rates of all-cause death ranged from 0.81% at 45 days to 8.2%(5) and 8.5%(6) at 1 year, ischemic stroke ranged from 0.23%(5) at 45 days to 1.2%(5) and 1.5%(6) at 1 year, and systemic embolism ranged from 0.01%(5) at 45 days to 0.68%(6) at 1 year. ;Thus, all 3-year and 90-day rates found in this analysis align with expectations derived from published literature.;;References;1.

The evaluation includes 90-day event rates for WATCHMAN FLX Pro and 3-year event rates for WATCHMAN FLX. Reported outcomes encompass the following: primary endpoint 1 (stroke, death, and systemic embolism), primary endpoint 2 (non-procedural bleeding), ischemic stroke, systemic embolism, and all-cause mortality.;;Total Number of Patients: 6397;;Device Evaluation: Under the terms and conditions of the study, anonymized data was provided. No products were returned as part of the study. It cannot be determined if these events have been previously reported or if the devices were returned for analysis as part of a previously reported spontaneous complaint. However, the events reported were anticipated in nature as defined by the ""Potential Adverse Events"" list in the FDA-approved Instructions for Use (IFU).;;Contextual Analysis of Study Data:;Overall, the 3-year outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX implant and 90-day outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX Pro implant that were found during this analysis of the Truveta database align with what is expected based on published literature. The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges. Although 90-day event rates are rarely reported, the rates found in this analysis from the Truveta database fall below or between reported 45-day and 1-year rates. In publications from a nationwide registry, rates of all-cause death ranged from 0.81% at 45 days to 8.2%(5) and 8.5%(6) at 1 year, ischemic stroke ranged from 0.23%(5) at 45 days to 1.2%(5) and 1.5%(6) at 1 year, and systemic embolism ranged from 0.01%(5) at 45 days to 0.68%(6) at 1 year. ;Thus, all 3-year and 90-day rates found in this analysis align with expectations derived from published literature.;;References;1.

The evaluation includes 90-day event rates for WATCHMAN FLX Pro and 3-year event rates for WATCHMAN FLX. Reported outcomes encompass the following: primary endpoint 1 (stroke, death, and systemic embolism), primary endpoint 2 (non-procedural bleeding), ischemic stroke, systemic embolism, and all-cause mortality.;;Total Number of Patients: 6397;;Device Evaluation: Under the terms and conditions of the study, anonymized data was provided.

However, the events reported were anticipated in nature as defined by the ""Potential Adverse Events"" list in the FDA-approved Instructions for Use (IFU).;;Contextual Analysis of Study Data:;Overall, the 3-year outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX implant and 90-day outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX Pro implant that were found during this analysis of the Truveta database align with what is expected based on published literature. The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges. Although 90-day event rates are rarely reported, the rates found in this analysis from the Truveta database fall below or between reported 45-day and 1-year rates. In publications from a nationwide registry, rates of all-cause death ranged from 0.81% at 45 days to 8.2%(5) and 8.5%(6) at 1 year, ischemic stroke ranged from 0.23%(5) at 45 days to 1.2%(5) and 1.5%(6) at 1 year, and systemic embolism ranged from 0.01%(5) at 45 days to 0.68%(6) at 1 year. ;Thus, all 3-year and 90-day rates found in this analysis align with expectations derived from published literature.;;References;1.

The evaluation includes 90-day event rates for WATCHMAN FLX Pro and 3-year event rates for WATCHMAN FLX. Reported outcomes encompass the following: primary endpoint 1 (stroke, death, and systemic embolism), primary endpoint 2 (non-procedural bleeding), ischemic stroke, systemic embolism, and all-cause mortality.;;Total Number of Patients: 6397;;Device Evaluation: Under the terms and conditions of the study, anonymized data was provided.

However, the events reported were anticipated in nature as defined by the ""Potential Adverse Events"" list in the FDA-approved Instructions for Use (IFU).;;Contextual Analysis of Study Data:;Overall, the 3-year outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX implant and 90-day outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX Pro implant that were found during this analysis of the Truveta database align with what is expected based on published literature. The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges. Although 90-day event rates are rarely reported, the rates found in this analysis from the Truveta database fall below or between reported 45-day and 1-year rates. In publications from a nationwide registry, rates of all-cause death ranged from 0.81% at 45 days to 8.2%(5) and 8.5%(6) at 1 year, ischemic stroke ranged from 0.23%(5) at 45 days to 1.2%(5) and 1.5%(6) at 1 year, and systemic embolism ranged from 0.01%(5) at 45 days to 0.68%(6) at 1 year. ;Thus, all 3-year and 90-day rates found in this analysis align with expectations derived from published literature.;;References;1.

The evaluation includes 90-day event rates for WATCHMAN FLX Pro and 3-year event rates for WATCHMAN FLX. Reported outcomes encompass the following: primary endpoint 1 (stroke, death, and systemic embolism), primary endpoint 2 (non-procedural bleeding), ischemic stroke, systemic embolism, and all-cause mortality.;;Total Number of Patients: 6397;;Device Evaluation: Under the terms and conditions of the study, anonymized data was provided.

However, the events reported were anticipated in nature as defined by the ""Potential Adverse Events"" list in the FDA-approved Instructions for Use (IFU).;;Contextual Analysis of Study Data:;Overall, the 3-year outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX implant and 90-day outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX Pro implant that were found during this analysis of the Truveta database align with what is expected based on published literature. The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges. Although 90-day event rates are rarely reported, the rates found in this analysis from the Truveta database fall below or between reported 45-day and 1-year rates. In publications from a nationwide registry, rates of all-cause death ranged from 0.81% at 45 days to 8.2%(5) and 8.5%(6) at 1 year, ischemic stroke ranged from 0.23%(5) at 45 days to 1.2%(5) and 1.5%(6) at 1 year, and systemic embolism ranged from 0.01%(5) at 45 days to 0.68%(6) at 1 year. ;Thus, all 3-year and 90-day rates found in this analysis align with expectations derived from published literature.;;References;1.

The evaluation includes 90-day event rates for WATCHMAN FLX Pro and 3-year event rates for WATCHMAN FLX. Reported outcomes encompass the following: primary endpoint 1 (stroke, death, and systemic embolism), primary endpoint 2 (non-procedural bleeding), ischemic stroke, systemic embolism, and all-cause mortality.;;Total Number of Patients: 6397;;Device Evaluation: Under the terms and conditions of the study, anonymized data was provided.

The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges.

A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges. Although 90-day event rates are rarely reported, the rates found in this analysis from the Truveta database fall below or between reported 45-day and 1-year rates. In publications from a nationwide registry, rates of all-cause death ranged from 0.81% at 45 days to 8.2%(5) and 8.5%(6) at 1 year, ischemic stroke ranged from 0.23%(5) at 45 days to 1.2%(5) and 1.5%(6) at 1 year, and systemic embolism ranged from 0.01%(5) at 45 days to 0.68%(6) at 1 year. ;Thus, all 3-year and 90-day rates found in this analysis align with expectations derived from published literature.;;References;1.

The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges. Although 90-day event rates are rarely reported, the rates found in this analysis from the Truveta database fall below or between reported 45-day and 1-year rates. In publications from a nationwide registry, rates of all-cause death ranged from 0.81% at 45 days to 8.2%(5) and 8.5%(6) at 1 year, ischemic stroke ranged from 0.23%(5) at 45 days to 1.2%(5) and 1.5%(6) at 1 year, and systemic embolism ranged from 0.01%(5) at 45 days to 0.68%(6) at 1 year. ;Thus, all 3-year and 90-day rates found in this analysis align with expectations derived from published literature.;;References;1.

The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges. Although 90-day event rates are rarely reported, the rates found in this analysis from the Truveta database fall below or between reported 45-day and 1-year rates. In publications from a nationwide registry, rates of all-cause death ranged from 0.81% at 45 days to 8.2%(5) and 8.5%(6) at 1 year, ischemic stroke ranged from 0.23%(5) at 45 days to 1.2%(5) and 1.5%(6) at 1 year, and systemic embolism ranged from 0.01%(5) at 45 days to 0.68%(6) at 1 year. ;Thus, all 3-year and 90-day rates found in this analysis align with expectations derived from published literature.;;References;1.

Reported outcomes encompass the following: primary endpoint 1 (stroke, death, and systemic embolism), primary endpoint 2 (non-procedural bleeding), ischemic stroke, systemic embolism, and all-cause mortality.;;Total Number of Patients: 6397;;Device Evaluation: Under the terms and conditions of the study, anonymized data was provided. No products were returned as part of the study. It cannot be determined if these events have been previously reported or if the devices were returned for analysis as part of a previously reported spontaneous complaint. However, the events reported were anticipated in nature as defined by the ""Potential Adverse Events"" list in the FDA-approved Instructions for Use (IFU).;;Contextual Analysis of Study Data:;Overall, the 3-year outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX implant and 90-day outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX Pro implant that were found during this analysis of the Truveta database align with what is expected based on published literature. The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges. Although 90-day event rates are rarely reported, the rates found in this analysis from the Truveta database fall below or between reported 45-day and 1-year rates. In publications from a nationwide registry, rates of all-cause death ranged from 0.81% at 45 days to 8.2%(5) and 8.5%(6) at 1 year, ischemic stroke ranged from 0.23%(5) at 45 days to 1.2%(5) and 1.5%(6) at 1 year, and systemic embolism ranged from 0.01%(5) at 45 days to 0.68%(6) at 1 year. ;Thus, all 3-year and 90-day rates found in this analysis align with expectations derived from published literature.;;References;1.

The evaluation includes 90-day event rates for WATCHMAN FLX Pro and 3-year event rates for WATCHMAN FLX. Reported outcomes encompass the following: primary endpoint 1 (stroke, death, and systemic embolism), primary endpoint 2 (non-procedural bleeding), ischemic stroke, systemic embolism, and all-cause mortality.;;Total Number of Patients: 6397;;Device Evaluation: Under the terms and conditions of the study, anonymized data was provided. No products were returned as part of the study. It cannot be determined if these events have been previously reported or if the devices were returned for analysis as part of a previously reported spontaneous complaint. However, the events reported were anticipated in nature as defined by the ""Potential Adverse Events"" list in the FDA-approved Instructions for Use (IFU).;;Contextual Analysis of Study Data:;Overall, the 3-year outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX implant and 90-day outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX Pro implant that were found during this analysis of the Truveta database align with what is expected based on published literature. The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges. Although 90-day event rates are rarely reported, the rates found in this analysis from the Truveta database fall below or between reported 45-day and 1-year rates. In publications from a nationwide registry, rates of all-cause death ranged from 0.81% at 45 days to 8.2%(5) and 8.5%(6) at 1 year, ischemic stroke ranged from 0.23%(5) at 45 days to 1.2%(5) and 1.5%(6) at 1 year, and systemic embolism ranged from 0.01%(5) at 45 days to 0.68%(6) at 1 year. ;Thus, all 3-year and 90-day rates found in this analysis align with expectations derived from published literature.;;References;1.

The evaluation includes 90-day event rates for WATCHMAN FLX Pro and 3-year event rates for WATCHMAN FLX. Reported outcomes encompass the following: primary endpoint 1 (stroke, death, and systemic embolism), primary endpoint 2 (non-procedural bleeding), ischemic stroke, systemic embolism, and all-cause mortality.;;Total Number of Patients: 6397;;Device Evaluation: Under the terms and conditions of the study, anonymized data was provided. No products were returned as part of the study. It cannot be determined if these events have been previously reported or if the devices were returned for analysis as part of a previously reported spontaneous complaint. However, the events reported were anticipated in nature as defined by the ""Potential Adverse Events"" list in the FDA-approved Instructions for Use (IFU).;;Contextual Analysis of Study Data:;Overall, the 3-year outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX implant and 90-day outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX Pro implant that were found during this analysis of the Truveta database align with what is expected based on published literature. The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges. Although 90-day event rates are rarely reported, the rates found in this analysis from the Truveta database fall below or between reported 45-day and 1-year rates. In publications from a nationwide registry, rates of all-cause death ranged from 0.81% at 45 days to 8.2%(5) and 8.5%(6) at 1 year, ischemic stroke ranged from 0.23%(5) at 45 days to 1.2%(5) and 1.5%(6) at 1 year, and systemic embolism ranged from 0.01%(5) at 45 days to 0.68%(6) at 1 year. ;Thus, all 3-year and 90-day rates found in this analysis align with expectations derived from published literature.;;References;1.

The evaluation includes 90-day event rates for WATCHMAN FLX Pro and 3-year event rates for WATCHMAN FLX. Reported outcomes encompass the following: primary endpoint 1 (stroke, death, and systemic embolism), primary endpoint 2 (non-procedural bleeding), ischemic stroke, systemic embolism, and all-cause mortality.;;Total Number of Patients: 6397;;Device Evaluation: Under the terms and conditions of the study, anonymized data was provided. No products were returned as part of the study. It cannot be determined if these events have been previously reported or if the devices were returned for analysis as part of a previously reported spontaneous complaint. However, the events reported were anticipated in nature as defined by the ""Potential Adverse Events"" list in the FDA-approved Instructions for Use (IFU).;;Contextual Analysis of Study Data:;Overall, the 3-year outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX implant and 90-day outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX Pro implant that were found during this analysis of the Truveta database align with what is expected based on published literature. The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges. Although 90-day event rates are rarely reported, the rates found in this analysis from the Truveta database fall below or between reported 45-day and 1-year rates. In publications from a nationwide registry, rates of all-cause death ranged from 0.81% at 45 days to 8.2%(5) and 8.5%(6) at 1 year, ischemic stroke ranged from 0.23%(5) at 45 days to 1.2%(5) and 1.5%(6) at 1 year, and systemic embolism ranged from 0.01%(5) at 45 days to 0.68%(6) at 1 year. ;Thus, all 3-year and 90-day rates found in this analysis align with expectations derived from published literature.;;References;1.

The evaluation includes 90-day event rates for WATCHMAN FLX Pro and 3-year event rates for WATCHMAN FLX. Reported outcomes encompass the following: primary endpoint 1 (stroke, death, and systemic embolism), primary endpoint 2 (non-procedural bleeding), ischemic stroke, systemic embolism, and all-cause mortality.;;Total Number of Patients: 6397;;Device Evaluation: Under the terms and conditions of the study, anonymized data was provided.

It cannot be determined if these events have been previously reported or if the devices were returned for analysis as part of a previously reported spontaneous complaint. However, the events reported were anticipated in nature as defined by the ""Potential Adverse Events"" list in the FDA-approved Instructions for Use (IFU).;;Contextual Analysis of Study Data:;Overall, the 3-year outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX implant and 90-day outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX Pro implant that were found during this analysis of the Truveta database align with what is expected based on published literature. The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges. Although 90-day event rates are rarely reported, the rates found in this analysis from the Truveta database fall below or between reported 45-day and 1-year rates. In publications from a nationwide registry, rates of all-cause death ranged from 0.81% at 45 days to 8.2%(5) and 8.5%(6) at 1 year, ischemic stroke ranged from 0.23%(5) at 45 days to 1.2%(5) and 1.5%(6) at 1 year, and systemic embolism ranged from 0.01%(5) at 45 days to 0.68%(6) at 1 year. ;Thus, all 3-year and 90-day rates found in this analysis align with expectations derived from published literature.;;References;1.

The evaluation includes 90-day event rates for WATCHMAN FLX Pro and 3-year event rates for WATCHMAN FLX. Reported outcomes encompass the following: primary endpoint 1 (stroke, death, and systemic embolism), primary endpoint 2 (non-procedural bleeding), ischemic stroke, systemic embolism, and all-cause mortality.;;Total Number of Patients: 6397;;Device Evaluation: Under the terms and conditions of the study, anonymized data was provided. No products were returned as part of the study. It cannot be determined if these events have been previously reported or if the devices were returned for analysis as part of a previously reported spontaneous complaint. However, the events reported were anticipated in nature as defined by the ""Potential Adverse Events"" list in the FDA-approved Instructions for Use (IFU).;;Contextual Analysis of Study Data:;Overall, the 3-year outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX implant and 90-day outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX Pro implant that were found during this analysis of the Truveta database align with what is expected based on published literature. The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges. Although 90-day event rates are rarely reported, the rates found in this analysis from the Truveta database fall below or between reported 45-day and 1-year rates. In publications from a nationwide registry, rates of all-cause death ranged from 0.81% at 45 days to 8.2%(5) and 8.5%(6) at 1 year, ischemic stroke ranged from 0.23%(5) at 45 days to 1.2%(5) and 1.5%(6) at 1 year, and systemic embolism ranged from 0.01%(5) at 45 days to 0.68%(6) at 1 year. ;Thus, all 3-year and 90-day rates found in this analysis align with expectations derived from published literature.;;References;1.

The evaluation includes 90-day event rates for WATCHMAN FLX Pro and 3-year event rates for WATCHMAN FLX. Reported outcomes encompass the following: primary endpoint 1 (stroke, death, and systemic embolism), primary endpoint 2 (non-procedural bleeding), ischemic stroke, systemic embolism, and all-cause mortality.;;Total Number of Patients: 6397;;Device Evaluation: Under the terms and conditions of the study, anonymized data was provided. No products were returned as part of the study. It cannot be determined if these events have been previously reported or if the devices were returned for analysis as part of a previously reported spontaneous complaint. However, the events reported were anticipated in nature as defined by the ""Potential Adverse Events"" list in the FDA-approved Instructions for Use (IFU).;;Contextual Analysis of Study Data:;Overall, the 3-year outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX implant and 90-day outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX Pro implant that were found during this analysis of the Truveta database align with what is expected based on published literature. The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges. Although 90-day event rates are rarely reported, the rates found in this analysis from the Truveta database fall below or between reported 45-day and 1-year rates. In publications from a nationwide registry, rates of all-cause death ranged from 0.81% at 45 days to 8.2%(5) and 8.5%(6) at 1 year, ischemic stroke ranged from 0.23%(5) at 45 days to 1.2%(5) and 1.5%(6) at 1 year, and systemic embolism ranged from 0.01%(5) at 45 days to 0.68%(6) at 1 year. ;Thus, all 3-year and 90-day rates found in this analysis align with expectations derived from published literature.;;References;1.

The evaluation includes 90-day event rates for WATCHMAN FLX Pro and 3-year event rates for WATCHMAN FLX. Reported outcomes encompass the following: primary endpoint 1 (stroke, death, and systemic embolism), primary endpoint 2 (non-procedural bleeding), ischemic stroke, systemic embolism, and all-cause mortality.;;Total Number of Patients: 6397;;Device Evaluation: Under the terms and conditions of the study, anonymized data was provided.

However, the events reported were anticipated in nature as defined by the ""Potential Adverse Events"" list in the FDA-approved Instructions for Use (IFU).;;Contextual Analysis of Study Data:;Overall, the 3-year outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX implant and 90-day outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX Pro implant that were found during this analysis of the Truveta database align with what is expected based on published literature. The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges. Although 90-day event rates are rarely reported, the rates found in this analysis from the Truveta database fall below or between reported 45-day and 1-year rates. In publications from a nationwide registry, rates of all-cause death ranged from 0.81% at 45 days to 8.2%(5) and 8.5%(6) at 1 year, ischemic stroke ranged from 0.23%(5) at 45 days to 1.2%(5) and 1.5%(6) at 1 year, and systemic embolism ranged from 0.01%(5) at 45 days to 0.68%(6) at 1 year. ;Thus, all 3-year and 90-day rates found in this analysis align with expectations derived from published literature.;;References;1.

The evaluation includes 90-day event rates for WATCHMAN FLX Pro and 3-year event rates for WATCHMAN FLX. Reported outcomes encompass the following: primary endpoint 1 (stroke, death, and systemic embolism), primary endpoint 2 (non-procedural bleeding), ischemic stroke, systemic embolism, and all-cause mortality.;;Total Number of Patients: 6397;;Device Evaluation: Under the terms and conditions of the study, anonymized data was provided.

However, the events reported were anticipated in nature as defined by the ""Potential Adverse Events"" list in the FDA-approved Instructions for Use (IFU).;;Contextual Analysis of Study Data:;Overall, the 3-year outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX implant and 90-day outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX Pro implant that were found during this analysis of the Truveta database align with what is expected based on published literature. The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges. Although 90-day event rates are rarely reported, the rates found in this analysis from the Truveta database fall below or between reported 45-day and 1-year rates. In publications from a nationwide registry, rates of all-cause death ranged from 0.81% at 45 days to 8.2%(5) and 8.5%(6) at 1 year, ischemic stroke ranged from 0.23%(5) at 45 days to 1.2%(5) and 1.5%(6) at 1 year, and systemic embolism ranged from 0.01%(5) at 45 days to 0.68%(6) at 1 year. ;Thus, all 3-year and 90-day rates found in this analysis align with expectations derived from published literature.;;References;1.

The evaluation includes 90-day event rates for WATCHMAN FLX Pro and 3-year event rates for WATCHMAN FLX. Reported outcomes encompass the following: primary endpoint 1 (stroke, death, and systemic embolism), primary endpoint 2 (non-procedural bleeding), ischemic stroke, systemic embolism, and all-cause mortality.;;Total Number of Patients: 6397;;Device Evaluation: Under the terms and conditions of the study, anonymized data was provided.

However, the events reported were anticipated in nature as defined by the ""Potential Adverse Events"" list in the FDA-approved Instructions for Use (IFU).;;Contextual Analysis of Study Data:;Overall, the 3-year outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX implant and 90-day outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX Pro implant that were found during this analysis of the Truveta database align with what is expected based on published literature. The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges. Although 90-day event rates are rarely reported, the rates found in this analysis from the Truveta database fall below or between reported 45-day and 1-year rates. In publications from a nationwide registry, rates of all-cause death ranged from 0.81% at 45 days to 8.2%(5) and 8.5%(6) at 1 year, ischemic stroke ranged from 0.23%(5) at 45 days to 1.2%(5) and 1.5%(6) at 1 year, and systemic embolism ranged from 0.01%(5) at 45 days to 0.68%(6) at 1 year. ;Thus, all 3-year and 90-day rates found in this analysis align with expectations derived from published literature.;;References;1.

The evaluation includes 90-day event rates for WATCHMAN FLX Pro and 3-year event rates for WATCHMAN FLX. Reported outcomes encompass the following: primary endpoint 1 (stroke, death, and systemic embolism), primary endpoint 2 (non-procedural bleeding), ischemic stroke, systemic embolism, and all-cause mortality.;;Total Number of Patients: 6397;;Device Evaluation: Under the terms and conditions of the study, anonymized data was provided.

The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges.

A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges. Although 90-day event rates are rarely reported, the rates found in this analysis from the Truveta database fall below or between reported 45-day and 1-year rates. In publications from a nationwide registry, rates of all-cause death ranged from 0.81% at 45 days to 8.2%(5) and 8.5%(6) at 1 year, ischemic stroke ranged from 0.23%(5) at 45 days to 1.2%(5) and 1.5%(6) at 1 year, and systemic embolism ranged from 0.01%(5) at 45 days to 0.68%(6) at 1 year. ;Thus, all 3-year and 90-day rates found in this analysis align with expectations derived from published literature.;;References;1.

The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges. Although 90-day event rates are rarely reported, the rates found in this analysis from the Truveta database fall below or between reported 45-day and 1-year rates. In publications from a nationwide registry, rates of all-cause death ranged from 0.81% at 45 days to 8.2%(5) and 8.5%(6) at 1 year, ischemic stroke ranged from 0.23%(5) at 45 days to 1.2%(5) and 1.5%(6) at 1 year, and systemic embolism ranged from 0.01%(5) at 45 days to 0.68%(6) at 1 year. ;Thus, all 3-year and 90-day rates found in this analysis align with expectations derived from published literature.;;References;1.

The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges. Although 90-day event rates are rarely reported, the rates found in this analysis from the Truveta database fall below or between reported 45-day and 1-year rates. In publications from a nationwide registry, rates of all-cause death ranged from 0.81% at 45 days to 8.2%(5) and 8.5%(6) at 1 year, ischemic stroke ranged from 0.23%(5) at 45 days to 1.2%(5) and 1.5%(6) at 1 year, and systemic embolism ranged from 0.01%(5) at 45 days to 0.68%(6) at 1 year. ;Thus, all 3-year and 90-day rates found in this analysis align with expectations derived from published literature.;;References;1.

Reported outcomes encompass the following: primary endpoint 1 (stroke, death, and systemic embolism), primary endpoint 2 (non-procedural bleeding), ischemic stroke, systemic embolism, and all-cause mortality.;;Total Number of Patients: 6397;;Device Evaluation: Under the terms and conditions of the study, anonymized data was provided. No products were returned as part of the study. It cannot be determined if these events have been previously reported or if the devices were returned for analysis as part of a previously reported spontaneous complaint. However, the events reported were anticipated in nature as defined by the ""Potential Adverse Events"" list in the FDA-approved Instructions for Use (IFU).;;Contextual Analysis of Study Data:;Overall, the 3-year outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX implant and 90-day outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX Pro implant that were found during this analysis of the Truveta database align with what is expected based on published literature. The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges. Although 90-day event rates are rarely reported, the rates found in this analysis from the Truveta database fall below or between reported 45-day and 1-year rates. In publications from a nationwide registry, rates of all-cause death ranged from 0.81% at 45 days to 8.2%(5) and 8.5%(6) at 1 year, ischemic stroke ranged from 0.23%(5) at 45 days to 1.2%(5) and 1.5%(6) at 1 year, and systemic embolism ranged from 0.01%(5) at 45 days to 0.68%(6) at 1 year. ;Thus, all 3-year and 90-day rates found in this analysis align with expectations derived from published literature.;;References;1.

The evaluation includes 90-day event rates for WATCHMAN FLX Pro and 3-year event rates for WATCHMAN FLX. Reported outcomes encompass the following: primary endpoint 1 (stroke, death, and systemic embolism), primary endpoint 2 (non-procedural bleeding), ischemic stroke, systemic embolism, and all-cause mortality.;;Total Number of Patients: 6397;;Device Evaluation: Under the terms and conditions of the study, anonymized data was provided. No products were returned as part of the study. It cannot be determined if these events have been previously reported or if the devices were returned for analysis as part of a previously reported spontaneous complaint. However, the events reported were anticipated in nature as defined by the ""Potential Adverse Events"" list in the FDA-approved Instructions for Use (IFU).;;Contextual Analysis of Study Data:;Overall, the 3-year outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX implant and 90-day outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX Pro implant that were found during this analysis of the Truveta database align with what is expected based on published literature. The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges. Although 90-day event rates are rarely reported, the rates found in this analysis from the Truveta database fall below or between reported 45-day and 1-year rates. In publications from a nationwide registry, rates of all-cause death ranged from 0.81% at 45 days to 8.2%(5) and 8.5%(6) at 1 year, ischemic stroke ranged from 0.23%(5) at 45 days to 1.2%(5) and 1.5%(6) at 1 year, and systemic embolism ranged from 0.01%(5) at 45 days to 0.68%(6) at 1 year. ;Thus, all 3-year and 90-day rates found in this analysis align with expectations derived from published literature.;;References;1.

The evaluation includes 90-day event rates for WATCHMAN FLX Pro and 3-year event rates for WATCHMAN FLX. Reported outcomes encompass the following: primary endpoint 1 (stroke, death, and systemic embolism), primary endpoint 2 (non-procedural bleeding), ischemic stroke, systemic embolism, and all-cause mortality.;;Total Number of Patients: 6397;;Device Evaluation: Under the terms and conditions of the study, anonymized data was provided. No products were returned as part of the study. It cannot be determined if these events have been previously reported or if the devices were returned for analysis as part of a previously reported spontaneous complaint. However, the events reported were anticipated in nature as defined by the ""Potential Adverse Events"" list in the FDA-approved Instructions for Use (IFU).;;Contextual Analysis of Study Data:;Overall, the 3-year outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX implant and 90-day outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX Pro implant that were found during this analysis of the Truveta database align with what is expected based on published literature. The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges. Although 90-day event rates are rarely reported, the rates found in this analysis from the Truveta database fall below or between reported 45-day and 1-year rates. In publications from a nationwide registry, rates of all-cause death ranged from 0.81% at 45 days to 8.2%(5) and 8.5%(6) at 1 year, ischemic stroke ranged from 0.23%(5) at 45 days to 1.2%(5) and 1.5%(6) at 1 year, and systemic embolism ranged from 0.01%(5) at 45 days to 0.68%(6) at 1 year. ;Thus, all 3-year and 90-day rates found in this analysis align with expectations derived from published literature.;;References;1.

The evaluation includes 90-day event rates for WATCHMAN FLX Pro and 3-year event rates for WATCHMAN FLX. Reported outcomes encompass the following: primary endpoint 1 (stroke, death, and systemic embolism), primary endpoint 2 (non-procedural bleeding), ischemic stroke, systemic embolism, and all-cause mortality.;;Total Number of Patients: 6397;;Device Evaluation: Under the terms and conditions of the study, anonymized data was provided. No products were returned as part of the study. It cannot be determined if these events have been previously reported or if the devices were returned for analysis as part of a previously reported spontaneous complaint. However, the events reported were anticipated in nature as defined by the ""Potential Adverse Events"" list in the FDA-approved Instructions for Use (IFU).;;Contextual Analysis of Study Data:;Overall, the 3-year outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX implant and 90-day outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX Pro implant that were found during this analysis of the Truveta database align with what is expected based on published literature. The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges. Although 90-day event rates are rarely reported, the rates found in this analysis from the Truveta database fall below or between reported 45-day and 1-year rates. In publications from a nationwide registry, rates of all-cause death ranged from 0.81% at 45 days to 8.2%(5) and 8.5%(6) at 1 year, ischemic stroke ranged from 0.23%(5) at 45 days to 1.2%(5) and 1.5%(6) at 1 year, and systemic embolism ranged from 0.01%(5) at 45 days to 0.68%(6) at 1 year. ;Thus, all 3-year and 90-day rates found in this analysis align with expectations derived from published literature.;;References;1.

The evaluation includes 90-day event rates for WATCHMAN FLX Pro and 3-year event rates for WATCHMAN FLX. Reported outcomes encompass the following: primary endpoint 1 (stroke, death, and systemic embolism), primary endpoint 2 (non-procedural bleeding), ischemic stroke, systemic embolism, and all-cause mortality.;;Total Number of Patients: 6397;;Device Evaluation: Under the terms and conditions of the study, anonymized data was provided.

It cannot be determined if these events have been previously reported or if the devices were returned for analysis as part of a previously reported spontaneous complaint. However, the events reported were anticipated in nature as defined by the ""Potential Adverse Events"" list in the FDA-approved Instructions for Use (IFU).;;Contextual Analysis of Study Data:;Overall, the 3-year outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX implant and 90-day outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX Pro implant that were found during this analysis of the Truveta database align with what is expected based on published literature. The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges. Although 90-day event rates are rarely reported, the rates found in this analysis from the Truveta database fall below or between reported 45-day and 1-year rates. In publications from a nationwide registry, rates of all-cause death ranged from 0.81% at 45 days to 8.2%(5) and 8.5%(6) at 1 year, ischemic stroke ranged from 0.23%(5) at 45 days to 1.2%(5) and 1.5%(6) at 1 year, and systemic embolism ranged from 0.01%(5) at 45 days to 0.68%(6) at 1 year. ;Thus, all 3-year and 90-day rates found in this analysis align with expectations derived from published literature.;;References;1.

The evaluation includes 90-day event rates for WATCHMAN FLX Pro and 3-year event rates for WATCHMAN FLX. Reported outcomes encompass the following: primary endpoint 1 (stroke, death, and systemic embolism), primary endpoint 2 (non-procedural bleeding), ischemic stroke, systemic embolism, and all-cause mortality.;;Total Number of Patients: 6397;;Device Evaluation: Under the terms and conditions of the study, anonymized data was provided. No products were returned as part of the study. It cannot be determined if these events have been previously reported or if the devices were returned for analysis as part of a previously reported spontaneous complaint. However, the events reported were anticipated in nature as defined by the ""Potential Adverse Events"" list in the FDA-approved Instructions for Use (IFU).;;Contextual Analysis of Study Data:;Overall, the 3-year outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX implant and 90-day outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX Pro implant that were found during this analysis of the Truveta database align with what is expected based on published literature. The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges. Although 90-day event rates are rarely reported, the rates found in this analysis from the Truveta database fall below or between reported 45-day and 1-year rates. In publications from a nationwide registry, rates of all-cause death ranged from 0.81% at 45 days to 8.2%(5) and 8.5%(6) at 1 year, ischemic stroke ranged from 0.23%(5) at 45 days to 1.2%(5) and 1.5%(6) at 1 year, and systemic embolism ranged from 0.01%(5) at 45 days to 0.68%(6) at 1 year. ;Thus, all 3-year and 90-day rates found in this analysis align with expectations derived from published literature.;;References;1.

The evaluation includes 90-day event rates for WATCHMAN FLX Pro and 3-year event rates for WATCHMAN FLX. Reported outcomes encompass the following: primary endpoint 1 (stroke, death, and systemic embolism), primary endpoint 2 (non-procedural bleeding), ischemic stroke, systemic embolism, and all-cause mortality.;;Total Number of Patients: 6397;;Device Evaluation: Under the terms and conditions of the study, anonymized data was provided. No products were returned as part of the study. It cannot be determined if these events have been previously reported or if the devices were returned for analysis as part of a previously reported spontaneous complaint. However, the events reported were anticipated in nature as defined by the ""Potential Adverse Events"" list in the FDA-approved Instructions for Use (IFU).;;Contextual Analysis of Study Data:;Overall, the 3-year outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX implant and 90-day outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX Pro implant that were found during this analysis of the Truveta database align with what is expected based on published literature. The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges. Although 90-day event rates are rarely reported, the rates found in this analysis from the Truveta database fall below or between reported 45-day and 1-year rates. In publications from a nationwide registry, rates of all-cause death ranged from 0.81% at 45 days to 8.2%(5) and 8.5%(6) at 1 year, ischemic stroke ranged from 0.23%(5) at 45 days to 1.2%(5) and 1.5%(6) at 1 year, and systemic embolism ranged from 0.01%(5) at 45 days to 0.68%(6) at 1 year. ;Thus, all 3-year and 90-day rates found in this analysis align with expectations derived from published literature.;;References;1.

The evaluation includes 90-day event rates for WATCHMAN FLX Pro and 3-year event rates for WATCHMAN FLX. Reported outcomes encompass the following: primary endpoint 1 (stroke, death, and systemic embolism), primary endpoint 2 (non-procedural bleeding), ischemic stroke, systemic embolism, and all-cause mortality.;;Total Number of Patients: 6397;;Device Evaluation: Under the terms and conditions of the study, anonymized data was provided.

However, the events reported were anticipated in nature as defined by the ""Potential Adverse Events"" list in the FDA-approved Instructions for Use (IFU).;;Contextual Analysis of Study Data:;Overall, the 3-year outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX implant and 90-day outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX Pro implant that were found during this analysis of the Truveta database align with what is expected based on published literature. The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges. Although 90-day event rates are rarely reported, the rates found in this analysis from the Truveta database fall below or between reported 45-day and 1-year rates. In publications from a nationwide registry, rates of all-cause death ranged from 0.81% at 45 days to 8.2%(5) and 8.5%(6) at 1 year, ischemic stroke ranged from 0.23%(5) at 45 days to 1.2%(5) and 1.5%(6) at 1 year, and systemic embolism ranged from 0.01%(5) at 45 days to 0.68%(6) at 1 year. ;Thus, all 3-year and 90-day rates found in this analysis align with expectations derived from published literature.;;References;1.

The evaluation includes 90-day event rates for WATCHMAN FLX Pro and 3-year event rates for WATCHMAN FLX. Reported outcomes encompass the following: primary endpoint 1 (stroke, death, and systemic embolism), primary endpoint 2 (non-procedural bleeding), ischemic stroke, systemic embolism, and all-cause mortality.;;Total Number of Patients: 6397;;Device Evaluation: Under the terms and conditions of the study, anonymized data was provided.

However, the events reported were anticipated in nature as defined by the ""Potential Adverse Events"" list in the FDA-approved Instructions for Use (IFU).;;Contextual Analysis of Study Data:;Overall, the 3-year outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX implant and 90-day outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX Pro implant that were found during this analysis of the Truveta database align with what is expected based on published literature. The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges. Although 90-day event rates are rarely reported, the rates found in this analysis from the Truveta database fall below or between reported 45-day and 1-year rates. In publications from a nationwide registry, rates of all-cause death ranged from 0.81% at 45 days to 8.2%(5) and 8.5%(6) at 1 year, ischemic stroke ranged from 0.23%(5) at 45 days to 1.2%(5) and 1.5%(6) at 1 year, and systemic embolism ranged from 0.01%(5) at 45 days to 0.68%(6) at 1 year. ;Thus, all 3-year and 90-day rates found in this analysis align with expectations derived from published literature.;;References;1.

The evaluation includes 90-day event rates for WATCHMAN FLX Pro and 3-year event rates for WATCHMAN FLX. Reported outcomes encompass the following: primary endpoint 1 (stroke, death, and systemic embolism), primary endpoint 2 (non-procedural bleeding), ischemic stroke, systemic embolism, and all-cause mortality.;;Total Number of Patients: 6397;;Device Evaluation: Under the terms and conditions of the study, anonymized data was provided.

However, the events reported were anticipated in nature as defined by the ""Potential Adverse Events"" list in the FDA-approved Instructions for Use (IFU).;;Contextual Analysis of Study Data:;Overall, the 3-year outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX implant and 90-day outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX Pro implant that were found during this analysis of the Truveta database align with what is expected based on published literature. The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges. Although 90-day event rates are rarely reported, the rates found in this analysis from the Truveta database fall below or between reported 45-day and 1-year rates. In publications from a nationwide registry, rates of all-cause death ranged from 0.81% at 45 days to 8.2%(5) and 8.5%(6) at 1 year, ischemic stroke ranged from 0.23%(5) at 45 days to 1.2%(5) and 1.5%(6) at 1 year, and systemic embolism ranged from 0.01%(5) at 45 days to 0.68%(6) at 1 year. ;Thus, all 3-year and 90-day rates found in this analysis align with expectations derived from published literature.;;References;1.

The evaluation includes 90-day event rates for WATCHMAN FLX Pro and 3-year event rates for WATCHMAN FLX. Reported outcomes encompass the following: primary endpoint 1 (stroke, death, and systemic embolism), primary endpoint 2 (non-procedural bleeding), ischemic stroke, systemic embolism, and all-cause mortality.;;Total Number of Patients: 6397;;Device Evaluation: Under the terms and conditions of the study, anonymized data was provided.

The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges.

A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges. Although 90-day event rates are rarely reported, the rates found in this analysis from the Truveta database fall below or between reported 45-day and 1-year rates. In publications from a nationwide registry, rates of all-cause death ranged from 0.81% at 45 days to 8.2%(5) and 8.5%(6) at 1 year, ischemic stroke ranged from 0.23%(5) at 45 days to 1.2%(5) and 1.5%(6) at 1 year, and systemic embolism ranged from 0.01%(5) at 45 days to 0.68%(6) at 1 year. ;Thus, all 3-year and 90-day rates found in this analysis align with expectations derived from published literature.;;References;1.

The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges. Although 90-day event rates are rarely reported, the rates found in this analysis from the Truveta database fall below or between reported 45-day and 1-year rates. In publications from a nationwide registry, rates of all-cause death ranged from 0.81% at 45 days to 8.2%(5) and 8.5%(6) at 1 year, ischemic stroke ranged from 0.23%(5) at 45 days to 1.2%(5) and 1.5%(6) at 1 year, and systemic embolism ranged from 0.01%(5) at 45 days to 0.68%(6) at 1 year. ;Thus, all 3-year and 90-day rates found in this analysis align with expectations derived from published literature.;;References;1.

The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges. Although 90-day event rates are rarely reported, the rates found in this analysis from the Truveta database fall below or between reported 45-day and 1-year rates. In publications from a nationwide registry, rates of all-cause death ranged from 0.81% at 45 days to 8.2%(5) and 8.5%(6) at 1 year, ischemic stroke ranged from 0.23%(5) at 45 days to 1.2%(5) and 1.5%(6) at 1 year, and systemic embolism ranged from 0.01%(5) at 45 days to 0.68%(6) at 1 year. ;Thus, all 3-year and 90-day rates found in this analysis align with expectations derived from published literature.;;References;1.

Reported outcomes encompass the following: primary endpoint 1 (stroke, death, and systemic embolism), primary endpoint 2 (non-procedural bleeding), ischemic stroke, systemic embolism, and all-cause mortality.;;Total Number of Patients: 6397;;Device Evaluation: Under the terms and conditions of the study, anonymized data was provided. No products were returned as part of the study. It cannot be determined if these events have been previously reported or if the devices were returned for analysis as part of a previously reported spontaneous complaint. However, the events reported were anticipated in nature as defined by the ""Potential Adverse Events"" list in the FDA-approved Instructions for Use (IFU).;;Contextual Analysis of Study Data:;Overall, the 3-year outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX implant and 90-day outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX Pro implant that were found during this analysis of the Truveta database align with what is expected based on published literature. The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges. Although 90-day event rates are rarely reported, the rates found in this analysis from the Truveta database fall below or between reported 45-day and 1-year rates. In publications from a nationwide registry, rates of all-cause death ranged from 0.81% at 45 days to 8.2%(5) and 8.5%(6) at 1 year, ischemic stroke ranged from 0.23%(5) at 45 days to 1.2%(5) and 1.5%(6) at 1 year, and systemic embolism ranged from 0.01%(5) at 45 days to 0.68%(6) at 1 year. ;Thus, all 3-year and 90-day rates found in this analysis align with expectations derived from published literature.;;References;1.

The evaluation includes 90-day event rates for WATCHMAN FLX Pro and 3-year event rates for WATCHMAN FLX. Reported outcomes encompass the following: primary endpoint 1 (stroke, death, and systemic embolism), primary endpoint 2 (non-procedural bleeding), ischemic stroke, systemic embolism, and all-cause mortality.;;Total Number of Patients: 6397;;Device Evaluation: Under the terms and conditions of the study, anonymized data was provided. No products were returned as part of the study. It cannot be determined if these events have been previously reported or if the devices were returned for analysis as part of a previously reported spontaneous complaint. However, the events reported were anticipated in nature as defined by the ""Potential Adverse Events"" list in the FDA-approved Instructions for Use (IFU).;;Contextual Analysis of Study Data:;Overall, the 3-year outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX implant and 90-day outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX Pro implant that were found during this analysis of the Truveta database align with what is expected based on published literature. The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges. Although 90-day event rates are rarely reported, the rates found in this analysis from the Truveta database fall below or between reported 45-day and 1-year rates. In publications from a nationwide registry, rates of all-cause death ranged from 0.81% at 45 days to 8.2%(5) and 8.5%(6) at 1 year, ischemic stroke ranged from 0.23%(5) at 45 days to 1.2%(5) and 1.5%(6) at 1 year, and systemic embolism ranged from 0.01%(5) at 45 days to 0.68%(6) at 1 year. ;Thus, all 3-year and 90-day rates found in this analysis align with expectations derived from published literature.;;References;1.

The evaluation includes 90-day event rates for WATCHMAN FLX Pro and 3-year event rates for WATCHMAN FLX. Reported outcomes encompass the following: primary endpoint 1 (stroke, death, and systemic embolism), primary endpoint 2 (non-procedural bleeding), ischemic stroke, systemic embolism, and all-cause mortality.;;Total Number of Patients: 6397;;Device Evaluation: Under the terms and conditions of the study, anonymized data was provided. No products were returned as part of the study. It cannot be determined if these events have been previously reported or if the devices were returned for analysis as part of a previously reported spontaneous complaint. However, the events reported were anticipated in nature as defined by the ""Potential Adverse Events"" list in the FDA-approved Instructions for Use (IFU).;;Contextual Analysis of Study Data:;Overall, the 3-year outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX implant and 90-day outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX Pro implant that were found during this analysis of the Truveta database align with what is expected based on published literature. The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges. Although 90-day event rates are rarely reported, the rates found in this analysis from the Truveta database fall below or between reported 45-day and 1-year rates. In publications from a nationwide registry, rates of all-cause death ranged from 0.81% at 45 days to 8.2%(5) and 8.5%(6) at 1 year, ischemic stroke ranged from 0.23%(5) at 45 days to 1.2%(5) and 1.5%(6) at 1 year, and systemic embolism ranged from 0.01%(5) at 45 days to 0.68%(6) at 1 year. ;Thus, all 3-year and 90-day rates found in this analysis align with expectations derived from published literature.;;References;1.

The evaluation includes 90-day event rates for WATCHMAN FLX Pro and 3-year event rates for WATCHMAN FLX. Reported outcomes encompass the following: primary endpoint 1 (stroke, death, and systemic embolism), primary endpoint 2 (non-procedural bleeding), ischemic stroke, systemic embolism, and all-cause mortality.;;Total Number of Patients: 6397;;Device Evaluation: Under the terms and conditions of the study, anonymized data was provided. No products were returned as part of the study. It cannot be determined if these events have been previously reported or if the devices were returned for analysis as part of a previously reported spontaneous complaint. However, the events reported were anticipated in nature as defined by the ""Potential Adverse Events"" list in the FDA-approved Instructions for Use (IFU).;;Contextual Analysis of Study Data:;Overall, the 3-year outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX implant and 90-day outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX Pro implant that were found during this analysis of the Truveta database align with what is expected based on published literature. The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges. Although 90-day event rates are rarely reported, the rates found in this analysis from the Truveta database fall below or between reported 45-day and 1-year rates. In publications from a nationwide registry, rates of all-cause death ranged from 0.81% at 45 days to 8.2%(5) and 8.5%(6) at 1 year, ischemic stroke ranged from 0.23%(5) at 45 days to 1.2%(5) and 1.5%(6) at 1 year, and systemic embolism ranged from 0.01%(5) at 45 days to 0.68%(6) at 1 year. ;Thus, all 3-year and 90-day rates found in this analysis align with expectations derived from published literature.;;References;1.

The evaluation includes 90-day event rates for WATCHMAN FLX Pro and 3-year event rates for WATCHMAN FLX. Reported outcomes encompass the following: primary endpoint 1 (stroke, death, and systemic embolism), primary endpoint 2 (non-procedural bleeding), ischemic stroke, systemic embolism, and all-cause mortality.;;Total Number of Patients: 6397;;Device Evaluation: Under the terms and conditions of the study, anonymized data was provided.

It cannot be determined if these events have been previously reported or if the devices were returned for analysis as part of a previously reported spontaneous complaint. However, the events reported were anticipated in nature as defined by the ""Potential Adverse Events"" list in the FDA-approved Instructions for Use (IFU).;;Contextual Analysis of Study Data:;Overall, the 3-year outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX implant and 90-day outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX Pro implant that were found during this analysis of the Truveta database align with what is expected based on published literature. The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges. Although 90-day event rates are rarely reported, the rates found in this analysis from the Truveta database fall below or between reported 45-day and 1-year rates. In publications from a nationwide registry, rates of all-cause death ranged from 0.81% at 45 days to 8.2%(5) and 8.5%(6) at 1 year, ischemic stroke ranged from 0.23%(5) at 45 days to 1.2%(5) and 1.5%(6) at 1 year, and systemic embolism ranged from 0.01%(5) at 45 days to 0.68%(6) at 1 year. ;Thus, all 3-year and 90-day rates found in this analysis align with expectations derived from published literature.;;References;1.

The evaluation includes 90-day event rates for WATCHMAN FLX Pro and 3-year event rates for WATCHMAN FLX. Reported outcomes encompass the following: primary endpoint 1 (stroke, death, and systemic embolism), primary endpoint 2 (non-procedural bleeding), ischemic stroke, systemic embolism, and all-cause mortality.;;Total Number of Patients: 6397;;Device Evaluation: Under the terms and conditions of the study, anonymized data was provided. No products were returned as part of the study. It cannot be determined if these events have been previously reported or if the devices were returned for analysis as part of a previously reported spontaneous complaint. However, the events reported were anticipated in nature as defined by the ""Potential Adverse Events"" list in the FDA-approved Instructions for Use (IFU).;;Contextual Analysis of Study Data:;Overall, the 3-year outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX implant and 90-day outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX Pro implant that were found during this analysis of the Truveta database align with what is expected based on published literature. The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges. Although 90-day event rates are rarely reported, the rates found in this analysis from the Truveta database fall below or between reported 45-day and 1-year rates. In publications from a nationwide registry, rates of all-cause death ranged from 0.81% at 45 days to 8.2%(5) and 8.5%(6) at 1 year, ischemic stroke ranged from 0.23%(5) at 45 days to 1.2%(5) and 1.5%(6) at 1 year, and systemic embolism ranged from 0.01%(5) at 45 days to 0.68%(6) at 1 year. ;Thus, all 3-year and 90-day rates found in this analysis align with expectations derived from published literature.;;References;1.

The evaluation includes 90-day event rates for WATCHMAN FLX Pro and 3-year event rates for WATCHMAN FLX. Reported outcomes encompass the following: primary endpoint 1 (stroke, death, and systemic embolism), primary endpoint 2 (non-procedural bleeding), ischemic stroke, systemic embolism, and all-cause mortality.;;Total Number of Patients: 6397;;Device Evaluation: Under the terms and conditions of the study, anonymized data was provided. No products were returned as part of the study. It cannot be determined if these events have been previously reported or if the devices were returned for analysis as part of a previously reported spontaneous complaint. However, the events reported were anticipated in nature as defined by the ""Potential Adverse Events"" list in the FDA-approved Instructions for Use (IFU).;;Contextual Analysis of Study Data:;Overall, the 3-year outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX implant and 90-day outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX Pro implant that were found during this analysis of the Truveta database align with what is expected based on published literature. The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges. Although 90-day event rates are rarely reported, the rates found in this analysis from the Truveta database fall below or between reported 45-day and 1-year rates. In publications from a nationwide registry, rates of all-cause death ranged from 0.81% at 45 days to 8.2%(5) and 8.5%(6) at 1 year, ischemic stroke ranged from 0.23%(5) at 45 days to 1.2%(5) and 1.5%(6) at 1 year, and systemic embolism ranged from 0.01%(5) at 45 days to 0.68%(6) at 1 year. ;Thus, all 3-year and 90-day rates found in this analysis align with expectations derived from published literature.;;References;1.

The evaluation includes 90-day event rates for WATCHMAN FLX Pro and 3-year event rates for WATCHMAN FLX. Reported outcomes encompass the following: primary endpoint 1 (stroke, death, and systemic embolism), primary endpoint 2 (non-procedural bleeding), ischemic stroke, systemic embolism, and all-cause mortality.;;Total Number of Patients: 6397;;Device Evaluation: Under the terms and conditions of the study, anonymized data was provided.

However, the events reported were anticipated in nature as defined by the ""Potential Adverse Events"" list in the FDA-approved Instructions for Use (IFU).;;Contextual Analysis of Study Data:;Overall, the 3-year outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX implant and 90-day outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX Pro implant that were found during this analysis of the Truveta database align with what is expected based on published literature. The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges. Although 90-day event rates are rarely reported, the rates found in this analysis from the Truveta database fall below or between reported 45-day and 1-year rates. In publications from a nationwide registry, rates of all-cause death ranged from 0.81% at 45 days to 8.2%(5) and 8.5%(6) at 1 year, ischemic stroke ranged from 0.23%(5) at 45 days to 1.2%(5) and 1.5%(6) at 1 year, and systemic embolism ranged from 0.01%(5) at 45 days to 0.68%(6) at 1 year. ;Thus, all 3-year and 90-day rates found in this analysis align with expectations derived from published literature.;;References;1.

The evaluation includes 90-day event rates for WATCHMAN FLX Pro and 3-year event rates for WATCHMAN FLX. Reported outcomes encompass the following: primary endpoint 1 (stroke, death, and systemic embolism), primary endpoint 2 (non-procedural bleeding), ischemic stroke, systemic embolism, and all-cause mortality.;;Total Number of Patients: 6397;;Device Evaluation: Under the terms and conditions of the study, anonymized data was provided.

However, the events reported were anticipated in nature as defined by the ""Potential Adverse Events"" list in the FDA-approved Instructions for Use (IFU).;;Contextual Analysis of Study Data:;Overall, the 3-year outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX implant and 90-day outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX Pro implant that were found during this analysis of the Truveta database align with what is expected based on published literature. The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges. Although 90-day event rates are rarely reported, the rates found in this analysis from the Truveta database fall below or between reported 45-day and 1-year rates. In publications from a nationwide registry, rates of all-cause death ranged from 0.81% at 45 days to 8.2%(5) and 8.5%(6) at 1 year, ischemic stroke ranged from 0.23%(5) at 45 days to 1.2%(5) and 1.5%(6) at 1 year, and systemic embolism ranged from 0.01%(5) at 45 days to 0.68%(6) at 1 year. ;Thus, all 3-year and 90-day rates found in this analysis align with expectations derived from published literature.;;References;1.

The evaluation includes 90-day event rates for WATCHMAN FLX Pro and 3-year event rates for WATCHMAN FLX. Reported outcomes encompass the following: primary endpoint 1 (stroke, death, and systemic embolism), primary endpoint 2 (non-procedural bleeding), ischemic stroke, systemic embolism, and all-cause mortality.;;Total Number of Patients: 6397;;Device Evaluation: Under the terms and conditions of the study, anonymized data was provided.

However, the events reported were anticipated in nature as defined by the ""Potential Adverse Events"" list in the FDA-approved Instructions for Use (IFU).;;Contextual Analysis of Study Data:;Overall, the 3-year outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX implant and 90-day outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX Pro implant that were found during this analysis of the Truveta database align with what is expected based on published literature. The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges. Although 90-day event rates are rarely reported, the rates found in this analysis from the Truveta database fall below or between reported 45-day and 1-year rates. In publications from a nationwide registry, rates of all-cause death ranged from 0.81% at 45 days to 8.2%(5) and 8.5%(6) at 1 year, ischemic stroke ranged from 0.23%(5) at 45 days to 1.2%(5) and 1.5%(6) at 1 year, and systemic embolism ranged from 0.01%(5) at 45 days to 0.68%(6) at 1 year. ;Thus, all 3-year and 90-day rates found in this analysis align with expectations derived from published literature.;;References;1.

The evaluation includes 90-day event rates for WATCHMAN FLX Pro and 3-year event rates for WATCHMAN FLX. Reported outcomes encompass the following: primary endpoint 1 (stroke, death, and systemic embolism), primary endpoint 2 (non-procedural bleeding), ischemic stroke, systemic embolism, and all-cause mortality.;;Total Number of Patients: 6397;;Device Evaluation: Under the terms and conditions of the study, anonymized data was provided.

The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges.

A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges. Although 90-day event rates are rarely reported, the rates found in this analysis from the Truveta database fall below or between reported 45-day and 1-year rates. In publications from a nationwide registry, rates of all-cause death ranged from 0.81% at 45 days to 8.2%(5) and 8.5%(6) at 1 year, ischemic stroke ranged from 0.23%(5) at 45 days to 1.2%(5) and 1.5%(6) at 1 year, and systemic embolism ranged from 0.01%(5) at 45 days to 0.68%(6) at 1 year. ;Thus, all 3-year and 90-day rates found in this analysis align with expectations derived from published literature.;;References;1.

The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges. Although 90-day event rates are rarely reported, the rates found in this analysis from the Truveta database fall below or between reported 45-day and 1-year rates. In publications from a nationwide registry, rates of all-cause death ranged from 0.81% at 45 days to 8.2%(5) and 8.5%(6) at 1 year, ischemic stroke ranged from 0.23%(5) at 45 days to 1.2%(5) and 1.5%(6) at 1 year, and systemic embolism ranged from 0.01%(5) at 45 days to 0.68%(6) at 1 year. ;Thus, all 3-year and 90-day rates found in this analysis align with expectations derived from published literature.;;References;1.

The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges. Although 90-day event rates are rarely reported, the rates found in this analysis from the Truveta database fall below or between reported 45-day and 1-year rates. In publications from a nationwide registry, rates of all-cause death ranged from 0.81% at 45 days to 8.2%(5) and 8.5%(6) at 1 year, ischemic stroke ranged from 0.23%(5) at 45 days to 1.2%(5) and 1.5%(6) at 1 year, and systemic embolism ranged from 0.01%(5) at 45 days to 0.68%(6) at 1 year. ;Thus, all 3-year and 90-day rates found in this analysis align with expectations derived from published literature.;;References;1.

Reported outcomes encompass the following: primary endpoint 1 (stroke, death, and systemic embolism), primary endpoint 2 (non-procedural bleeding), ischemic stroke, systemic embolism, and all-cause mortality.;;Total Number of Patients: 6397;;Device Evaluation: Under the terms and conditions of the study, anonymized data was provided. No products were returned as part of the study. It cannot be determined if these events have been previously reported or if the devices were returned for analysis as part of a previously reported spontaneous complaint. However, the events reported were anticipated in nature as defined by the ""Potential Adverse Events"" list in the FDA-approved Instructions for Use (IFU).;;Contextual Analysis of Study Data:;Overall, the 3-year outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX implant and 90-day outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX Pro implant that were found during this analysis of the Truveta database align with what is expected based on published literature. The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges. Although 90-day event rates are rarely reported, the rates found in this analysis from the Truveta database fall below or between reported 45-day and 1-year rates. In publications from a nationwide registry, rates of all-cause death ranged from 0.81% at 45 days to 8.2%(5) and 8.5%(6) at 1 year, ischemic stroke ranged from 0.23%(5) at 45 days to 1.2%(5) and 1.5%(6) at 1 year, and systemic embolism ranged from 0.01%(5) at 45 days to 0.68%(6) at 1 year. ;Thus, all 3-year and 90-day rates found in this analysis align with expectations derived from published literature.;;References;1.

The evaluation includes 90-day event rates for WATCHMAN FLX Pro and 3-year event rates for WATCHMAN FLX. Reported outcomes encompass the following: primary endpoint 1 (stroke, death, and systemic embolism), primary endpoint 2 (non-procedural bleeding), ischemic stroke, systemic embolism, and all-cause mortality.;;Total Number of Patients: 6397;;Device Evaluation: Under the terms and conditions of the study, anonymized data was provided. No products were returned as part of the study. It cannot be determined if these events have been previously reported or if the devices were returned for analysis as part of a previously reported spontaneous complaint. However, the events reported were anticipated in nature as defined by the ""Potential Adverse Events"" list in the FDA-approved Instructions for Use (IFU).;;Contextual Analysis of Study Data:;Overall, the 3-year outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX implant and 90-day outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX Pro implant that were found during this analysis of the Truveta database align with what is expected based on published literature. The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges. Although 90-day event rates are rarely reported, the rates found in this analysis from the Truveta database fall below or between reported 45-day and 1-year rates. In publications from a nationwide registry, rates of all-cause death ranged from 0.81% at 45 days to 8.2%(5) and 8.5%(6) at 1 year, ischemic stroke ranged from 0.23%(5) at 45 days to 1.2%(5) and 1.5%(6) at 1 year, and systemic embolism ranged from 0.01%(5) at 45 days to 0.68%(6) at 1 year. ;Thus, all 3-year and 90-day rates found in this analysis align with expectations derived from published literature.;;References;1.

The evaluation includes 90-day event rates for WATCHMAN FLX Pro and 3-year event rates for WATCHMAN FLX. Reported outcomes encompass the following: primary endpoint 1 (stroke, death, and systemic embolism), primary endpoint 2 (non-procedural bleeding), ischemic stroke, systemic embolism, and all-cause mortality.;;Total Number of Patients: 6397;;Device Evaluation: Under the terms and conditions of the study, anonymized data was provided. No products were returned as part of the study. It cannot be determined if these events have been previously reported or if the devices were returned for analysis as part of a previously reported spontaneous complaint. However, the events reported were anticipated in nature as defined by the ""Potential Adverse Events"" list in the FDA-approved Instructions for Use (IFU).;;Contextual Analysis of Study Data:;Overall, the 3-year outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX implant and 90-day outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX Pro implant that were found during this analysis of the Truveta database align with what is expected based on published literature. The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges. Although 90-day event rates are rarely reported, the rates found in this analysis from the Truveta database fall below or between reported 45-day and 1-year rates. In publications from a nationwide registry, rates of all-cause death ranged from 0.81% at 45 days to 8.2%(5) and 8.5%(6) at 1 year, ischemic stroke ranged from 0.23%(5) at 45 days to 1.2%(5) and 1.5%(6) at 1 year, and systemic embolism ranged from 0.01%(5) at 45 days to 0.68%(6) at 1 year. ;Thus, all 3-year and 90-day rates found in this analysis align with expectations derived from published literature.;;References;1.

The evaluation includes 90-day event rates for WATCHMAN FLX Pro and 3-year event rates for WATCHMAN FLX. Reported outcomes encompass the following: primary endpoint 1 (stroke, death, and systemic embolism), primary endpoint 2 (non-procedural bleeding), ischemic stroke, systemic embolism, and all-cause mortality.;;Total Number of Patients: 6397;;Device Evaluation: Under the terms and conditions of the study, anonymized data was provided. No products were returned as part of the study. It cannot be determined if these events have been previously reported or if the devices were returned for analysis as part of a previously reported spontaneous complaint. However, the events reported were anticipated in nature as defined by the ""Potential Adverse Events"" list in the FDA-approved Instructions for Use (IFU).;;Contextual Analysis of Study Data:;Overall, the 3-year outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX implant and 90-day outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX Pro implant that were found during this analysis of the Truveta database align with what is expected based on published literature. The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges. Although 90-day event rates are rarely reported, the rates found in this analysis from the Truveta database fall below or between reported 45-day and 1-year rates. In publications from a nationwide registry, rates of all-cause death ranged from 0.81% at 45 days to 8.2%(5) and 8.5%(6) at 1 year, ischemic stroke ranged from 0.23%(5) at 45 days to 1.2%(5) and 1.5%(6) at 1 year, and systemic embolism ranged from 0.01%(5) at 45 days to 0.68%(6) at 1 year. ;Thus, all 3-year and 90-day rates found in this analysis align with expectations derived from published literature.;;References;1.

The evaluation includes 90-day event rates for WATCHMAN FLX Pro and 3-year event rates for WATCHMAN FLX. Reported outcomes encompass the following: primary endpoint 1 (stroke, death, and systemic embolism), primary endpoint 2 (non-procedural bleeding), ischemic stroke, systemic embolism, and all-cause mortality.;;Total Number of Patients: 6397;;Device Evaluation: Under the terms and conditions of the study, anonymized data was provided.

It cannot be determined if these events have been previously reported or if the devices were returned for analysis as part of a previously reported spontaneous complaint. However, the events reported were anticipated in nature as defined by the ""Potential Adverse Events"" list in the FDA-approved Instructions for Use (IFU).;;Contextual Analysis of Study Data:;Overall, the 3-year outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX implant and 90-day outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX Pro implant that were found during this analysis of the Truveta database align with what is expected based on published literature. The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges. Although 90-day event rates are rarely reported, the rates found in this analysis from the Truveta database fall below or between reported 45-day and 1-year rates. In publications from a nationwide registry, rates of all-cause death ranged from 0.81% at 45 days to 8.2%(5) and 8.5%(6) at 1 year, ischemic stroke ranged from 0.23%(5) at 45 days to 1.2%(5) and 1.5%(6) at 1 year, and systemic embolism ranged from 0.01%(5) at 45 days to 0.68%(6) at 1 year. ;Thus, all 3-year and 90-day rates found in this analysis align with expectations derived from published literature.;;References;1.

The evaluation includes 90-day event rates for WATCHMAN FLX Pro and 3-year event rates for WATCHMAN FLX. Reported outcomes encompass the following: primary endpoint 1 (stroke, death, and systemic embolism), primary endpoint 2 (non-procedural bleeding), ischemic stroke, systemic embolism, and all-cause mortality.;;Total Number of Patients: 6397;;Device Evaluation: Under the terms and conditions of the study, anonymized data was provided. No products were returned as part of the study. It cannot be determined if these events have been previously reported or if the devices were returned for analysis as part of a previously reported spontaneous complaint. However, the events reported were anticipated in nature as defined by the ""Potential Adverse Events"" list in the FDA-approved Instructions for Use (IFU).;;Contextual Analysis of Study Data:;Overall, the 3-year outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX implant and 90-day outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX Pro implant that were found during this analysis of the Truveta database align with what is expected based on published literature. The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges. Although 90-day event rates are rarely reported, the rates found in this analysis from the Truveta database fall below or between reported 45-day and 1-year rates. In publications from a nationwide registry, rates of all-cause death ranged from 0.81% at 45 days to 8.2%(5) and 8.5%(6) at 1 year, ischemic stroke ranged from 0.23%(5) at 45 days to 1.2%(5) and 1.5%(6) at 1 year, and systemic embolism ranged from 0.01%(5) at 45 days to 0.68%(6) at 1 year. ;Thus, all 3-year and 90-day rates found in this analysis align with expectations derived from published literature.;;References;1.

The evaluation includes 90-day event rates for WATCHMAN FLX Pro and 3-year event rates for WATCHMAN FLX. Reported outcomes encompass the following: primary endpoint 1 (stroke, death, and systemic embolism), primary endpoint 2 (non-procedural bleeding), ischemic stroke, systemic embolism, and all-cause mortality.;;Total Number of Patients: 6397;;Device Evaluation: Under the terms and conditions of the study, anonymized data was provided. No products were returned as part of the study. It cannot be determined if these events have been previously reported or if the devices were returned for analysis as part of a previously reported spontaneous complaint. However, the events reported were anticipated in nature as defined by the ""Potential Adverse Events"" list in the FDA-approved Instructions for Use (IFU).;;Contextual Analysis of Study Data:;Overall, the 3-year outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX implant and 90-day outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX Pro implant that were found during this analysis of the Truveta database align with what is expected based on published literature. The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges. Although 90-day event rates are rarely reported, the rates found in this analysis from the Truveta database fall below or between reported 45-day and 1-year rates. In publications from a nationwide registry, rates of all-cause death ranged from 0.81% at 45 days to 8.2%(5) and 8.5%(6) at 1 year, ischemic stroke ranged from 0.23%(5) at 45 days to 1.2%(5) and 1.5%(6) at 1 year, and systemic embolism ranged from 0.01%(5) at 45 days to 0.68%(6) at 1 year. ;Thus, all 3-year and 90-day rates found in this analysis align with expectations derived from published literature.;;References;1.

The evaluation includes 90-day event rates for WATCHMAN FLX Pro and 3-year event rates for WATCHMAN FLX. Reported outcomes encompass the following: primary endpoint 1 (stroke, death, and systemic embolism), primary endpoint 2 (non-procedural bleeding), ischemic stroke, systemic embolism, and all-cause mortality.;;Total Number of Patients: 6397;;Device Evaluation: Under the terms and conditions of the study, anonymized data was provided.

However, the events reported were anticipated in nature as defined by the ""Potential Adverse Events"" list in the FDA-approved Instructions for Use (IFU).;;Contextual Analysis of Study Data:;Overall, the 3-year outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX implant and 90-day outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX Pro implant that were found during this analysis of the Truveta database align with what is expected based on published literature. The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges. Although 90-day event rates are rarely reported, the rates found in this analysis from the Truveta database fall below or between reported 45-day and 1-year rates. In publications from a nationwide registry, rates of all-cause death ranged from 0.81% at 45 days to 8.2%(5) and 8.5%(6) at 1 year, ischemic stroke ranged from 0.23%(5) at 45 days to 1.2%(5) and 1.5%(6) at 1 year, and systemic embolism ranged from 0.01%(5) at 45 days to 0.68%(6) at 1 year. ;Thus, all 3-year and 90-day rates found in this analysis align with expectations derived from published literature.;;References;1.

The evaluation includes 90-day event rates for WATCHMAN FLX Pro and 3-year event rates for WATCHMAN FLX. Reported outcomes encompass the following: primary endpoint 1 (stroke, death, and systemic embolism), primary endpoint 2 (non-procedural bleeding), ischemic stroke, systemic embolism, and all-cause mortality.;;Total Number of Patients: 6397;;Device Evaluation: Under the terms and conditions of the study, anonymized data was provided.

However, the events reported were anticipated in nature as defined by the ""Potential Adverse Events"" list in the FDA-approved Instructions for Use (IFU).;;Contextual Analysis of Study Data:;Overall, the 3-year outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX implant and 90-day outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX Pro implant that were found during this analysis of the Truveta database align with what is expected based on published literature. The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges. Although 90-day event rates are rarely reported, the rates found in this analysis from the Truveta database fall below or between reported 45-day and 1-year rates. In publications from a nationwide registry, rates of all-cause death ranged from 0.81% at 45 days to 8.2%(5) and 8.5%(6) at 1 year, ischemic stroke ranged from 0.23%(5) at 45 days to 1.2%(5) and 1.5%(6) at 1 year, and systemic embolism ranged from 0.01%(5) at 45 days to 0.68%(6) at 1 year. ;Thus, all 3-year and 90-day rates found in this analysis align with expectations derived from published literature.;;References;1.

The evaluation includes 90-day event rates for WATCHMAN FLX Pro and 3-year event rates for WATCHMAN FLX. Reported outcomes encompass the following: primary endpoint 1 (stroke, death, and systemic embolism), primary endpoint 2 (non-procedural bleeding), ischemic stroke, systemic embolism, and all-cause mortality.;;Total Number of Patients: 6397;;Device Evaluation: Under the terms and conditions of the study, anonymized data was provided.

However, the events reported were anticipated in nature as defined by the ""Potential Adverse Events"" list in the FDA-approved Instructions for Use (IFU).;;Contextual Analysis of Study Data:;Overall, the 3-year outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX implant and 90-day outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX Pro implant that were found during this analysis of the Truveta database align with what is expected based on published literature. The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges. Although 90-day event rates are rarely reported, the rates found in this analysis from the Truveta database fall below or between reported 45-day and 1-year rates. In publications from a nationwide registry, rates of all-cause death ranged from 0.81% at 45 days to 8.2%(5) and 8.5%(6) at 1 year, ischemic stroke ranged from 0.23%(5) at 45 days to 1.2%(5) and 1.5%(6) at 1 year, and systemic embolism ranged from 0.01%(5) at 45 days to 0.68%(6) at 1 year. ;Thus, all 3-year and 90-day rates found in this analysis align with expectations derived from published literature.;;References;1.

The evaluation includes 90-day event rates for WATCHMAN FLX Pro and 3-year event rates for WATCHMAN FLX. Reported outcomes encompass the following: primary endpoint 1 (stroke, death, and systemic embolism), primary endpoint 2 (non-procedural bleeding), ischemic stroke, systemic embolism, and all-cause mortality.;;Total Number of Patients: 6397;;Device Evaluation: Under the terms and conditions of the study, anonymized data was provided.

The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges.

A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges. Although 90-day event rates are rarely reported, the rates found in this analysis from the Truveta database fall below or between reported 45-day and 1-year rates. In publications from a nationwide registry, rates of all-cause death ranged from 0.81% at 45 days to 8.2%(5) and 8.5%(6) at 1 year, ischemic stroke ranged from 0.23%(5) at 45 days to 1.2%(5) and 1.5%(6) at 1 year, and systemic embolism ranged from 0.01%(5) at 45 days to 0.68%(6) at 1 year. ;Thus, all 3-year and 90-day rates found in this analysis align with expectations derived from published literature.;;References;1.

The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges. Although 90-day event rates are rarely reported, the rates found in this analysis from the Truveta database fall below or between reported 45-day and 1-year rates. In publications from a nationwide registry, rates of all-cause death ranged from 0.81% at 45 days to 8.2%(5) and 8.5%(6) at 1 year, ischemic stroke ranged from 0.23%(5) at 45 days to 1.2%(5) and 1.5%(6) at 1 year, and systemic embolism ranged from 0.01%(5) at 45 days to 0.68%(6) at 1 year. ;Thus, all 3-year and 90-day rates found in this analysis align with expectations derived from published literature.;;References;1.

The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges. Although 90-day event rates are rarely reported, the rates found in this analysis from the Truveta database fall below or between reported 45-day and 1-year rates. In publications from a nationwide registry, rates of all-cause death ranged from 0.81% at 45 days to 8.2%(5) and 8.5%(6) at 1 year, ischemic stroke ranged from 0.23%(5) at 45 days to 1.2%(5) and 1.5%(6) at 1 year, and systemic embolism ranged from 0.01%(5) at 45 days to 0.68%(6) at 1 year. ;Thus, all 3-year and 90-day rates found in this analysis align with expectations derived from published literature.;;References;1.

Reported outcomes encompass the following: primary endpoint 1 (stroke, death, and systemic embolism), primary endpoint 2 (non-procedural bleeding), ischemic stroke, systemic embolism, and all-cause mortality.;;Total Number of Patients: 6397;;Device Evaluation: Under the terms and conditions of the study, anonymized data was provided. No products were returned as part of the study. It cannot be determined if these events have been previously reported or if the devices were returned for analysis as part of a previously reported spontaneous complaint. However, the events reported were anticipated in nature as defined by the ""Potential Adverse Events"" list in the FDA-approved Instructions for Use (IFU).;;Contextual Analysis of Study Data:;Overall, the 3-year outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX implant and 90-day outcomes after WATCHMAN FLX Pro implant that were found during this analysis of the Truveta database align with what is expected based on published literature. The 3-year individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX for death (12.8%), ischemic stroke (3.8%), and systemic embolism (0.29%) fall within or below expected ranges. Although 3-year published rates from similar registry-based analyses in the United States are limited, a Medicare-based analysis reported a 44.2% mortality rate at 5 years with an estimated 8-10% annual rate, leading toward an estimated 3-year rate of 24.0%-30.0%.1 This publication also found an estimated 1.0%-1.5% annual rate of ischemic stroke (6.6% at 5 years; 3.0%-4.5% at 3 years)(1). A similar Medicare-based analysis supports these results with key findings of an estimated 3-year ischemic stroke rate of 3.5%, and a mortality rate near 27% (2). A randomized trial with a similar goal of comparing LAAC and OACs observed a 15.6% rate for all-cause death at 3 years (3) and recent randomized trial looking specifically at WATCHMAN devices reported 3-year rates of 29.0% for death, 7.2% for ischemic stroke, and 2.2% for systemic embolism (4). ;The 90-day individual event rates reported in this analysis for WATCHMAN FLX Pro for death (0.56%), ischemic stroke (1.11%), and systemic embolism (0.25%) also fall within expected ranges. Although 90-day event rates are rarely reported, the rates found in this analysis from the Truveta database fall below or between reported 45-day and 1-year rates. In publications from a nationwide registry, rates of all-cause death ranged from 0.81% at 45 days to 8.2%(5) and 8.5%(6) at 1 year, ischemic stroke ranged from 0.23%(5) at 45 days to 1.2%(5) and 1.5%(6) at 1 year, and systemic embolism ranged from 0.01%(5) at 45 days to 0.68%(6) at 1 year. ;Thus, all 3-year and 90-day rates found in this analysis align with expectations derived from published literature.;;References;1.
