Ascension St. Vincent Evansville has completed the area's first FDA-approved Thoracoabdominal Branch Endoprosthesis (TAMBE) procedure, advancing care for complex aortic aneurysms.
TAMBE places a stent graft in the visceral aorta to maintain blood flow to vital organs, offering a less invasive alternative to open surgery. Until now, patients had to travel to larger cities for this life-saving procedure. This milestone allows them to stay closer to home, recover faster, and receive the highest level of care right here in Evansville, showcasing Ascension St. Vincent’s dedication to the highest level of care as it becomes available.
👏 Congratulations to our surgical team for leading the way in innovation and patient care!
