A First for Southwest Oklahoma! Comanche County Memorial Hospital is proud to be the first in the community to perform the WATCHMAN™ heart procedure!
Cardiologist Dr. Ahmed Elkaryoni and his skilled team successfully completed two WATCHMAN™ implant procedures. This minimally invasive treatment offers hope to patients with atrial fibrillation by providing an alternative to long-term blood thinners.
The WATCHMAN™ device helps reduce stroke risk by sealing off the area of the heart where most stroke-causing blood clots form all without the need for open-heart surgery. The procedure takes less than an hour, with a short hospital stay, and offers long-term protection without the ongoing risks of blood-thinning medications.
Congratulations to our cardiac team for bringing this life-changing technology to our community!
