Is your doctor good enough not to have problems with installing this device? Better than the success rate for tPA use and full stroke recovery?

One paragraph;
In addition to the 95.6% rate of successful implantation, Reddy and
colleagues reported a median procedure time of 50 minutes. About half of
the procedures were performed by physicians who were not involved in
Watchman clinical trials. There were 39 cases of pericardial tamponade,
three procedure-related strokes, 9 device embolizations, and 3
procedure-related deaths.
