The NCH Rooney Heart Institute has reached another major milestone in advanced cardiovascular care. The vascular team led by Santiago Chahwan, MD and Alvaro Zamora, MD, recently performed the first successful Type IV thoracoabdominal aneurysm endovascular repair using the Gore Thoracoabdominal Branch Endoprosthesis (TAMBE) device.

This groundbreaking procedure marks the first case of its kind performed in Southwest Florida. Until now, patients requiring this complex, life-saving repair had to be transferred to one of three hospitals in the state of Florida equipped to perform it.

The TAMBE device allows surgeons to repair large aneurysms involving both the chest and abdominal aorta through a minimally invasive approach, meaning smaller incisions, less pain, and faster recovery for patients. The TAMBE device repairs complex aortic aneurysms by creating a new channel for blood flow. It is a stent-graft that is implanted inside the aorta through small incisions to bypass and reinforce the weakened area. The device includes multiple branches that are connected to other blood vessels, allowing blood to flow to vital organs while excluding the aneurysm.

Naples Comprehensive Health (NCH) and Caristo Diagnostics announced that NCH Rooney Heart Institute has become the first hospital in the nation to use both CaRi-Plaque™ and CaRi-Heart®, two AI-powered imaging-based technologies that identify signs of heart disease and predict a patient’s risk of heart attack up to 10 years before symptoms appear.

This collaboration marks a significant step forward in the use of artificial intelligence to prevent cardiovascular disease, shifting the focus from reacting to heart attacks to stopping them before they happen.
