Fighting for breath and losing the struggle, 30-year-old Haadi Shuaib, MD, who was a resident at Staten Island University Hospital at the time, required ECMO, the highest form of life support.

However, time was running out, so Frank Rosell, MD, Staten Island’s associate chair of cardiovascular and thoracic surgery, stepped in to connect the young doctor to ECMO.

Initially only given a 50% chance of survival, Dr. Shuaib made a miraculous recovery and returned to work at the hospital in just a few weeks.

Unlike fusion, TOPS preserves natural motion while relieving nerve pressure, helping patients walk again after years of pain.
