Watchman Hits 500: AFIB Hope | Panama City Beach News

Ascension Sacred Heart Bay just hit a major milestone—500 Watchman procedures—and it’s a game-changer for AFIB patients. This tiny heart mesh plug slashes stroke risk without blood thinners, giving patients like Bruce Kress renewed energy, better breathing, and a heart rate in the 60s—all while ditching daily meds just one month post-op. Designed to last a lifetime, the Watchman removes the constant burden of anticoagulants and offers a permanent solution. Doctors are thrilled too: procedures are faster, safer, with a 98% success rate and most patients home the same day. This isn’t just a number—it’s hundreds of lives transformed.
