We wanted to give the chickens some alfalfa in the coops, since it is still raining out, and they are having a lot of indoor time during rain showers. We decided to hang a block in each coop by wrapping it in a net and hanging it from the ceiling with some old t.v. cable we had laying around.
Surgery is also an option. The Watchman is ideal for patients who find anticoagulants problematic. During an hour-long procedure, under general anaesthetic, surgeons use standard techniques similar to those used in commonly performed angioplasty (heart stent operations) to position the device in the heart.
The main difference between the Watchman and the Lariat is that the Watchman is a metal and fabric implant placed inside the heart, blocking the opening to the appendage. The Lariat on the other hand occludes the appendage by tying off the base of the LAA from outside the heart.
