Scripps is one of the first health systems in California to investigate The Watchman implant—a tiny, parachute-like device that is designed to help reduce the risk of stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation, like 82-year-old Bjarne (Bey-ar-nay) Anthonsen. This minimally invasive procedure may help a-fib patients avoid years of taking risky blood thinners.
