What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Boston Scientific Corporation announced positive six-month primary endpoint results from the SIMPLAAFY trial of the WATCHMAN FLX™ Pro Left Atrial Appendage Closure (LAAC) Device. The study evaluated two single-drug regimens as alternatives to dual anti-platelet therapy (DAPT) for patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF). The results showed both single-drug regimens achieved non-inferiority compared to DAPT, supporting the potential to simplify post-procedure drug regimens.
