Advanced Heart Care Procedure Lands at Local Hospital
Palm Beach Gardens, FL · August 5, 2026
Teachers get their turn on the driving range today, and overcast skies offer a slight respite from the August heat.
The Lead
Surgeons at Palm Beach Gardens Medical Center have successfully performed northern Palm Beach County's first advanced aortic aneurysm repair using a newly FDA-approved endovascular device. Vascular surgeons Dr. Lauren Huntress and Dr. Joseph Savarese completed the groundbreaking procedure using the TAMBE endoprosthesis, an off-the-shelf system designed to repair complex aneurysms in the visceral aorta. Historically, patients with thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms required extensive open-chest surgery with lengthy hospital stays. This minimally invasive alternative allows doctors to insert branch grafts through small incisions, protecting blood flow to vital organs while shortening recovery times. Hospital officials expect the technique to become the standard care plan locally for high-risk vascular patients who previously had to travel to major academic medical centers down south.
