The procedure was performed by Steven Vanni, DO, a top neurosurgeon with nearly 30 years of experience, on a 95-year-old patient. 

“In this case, the patient suffered an injury that led to a build-up of pressure in the brain,” said Dr. Vanni. “The patient was experiencing confusion, lethargy, and weakness, but previously was a healthy, independent woman. Hopefully, this minimally invasive procedure will help her return to her normal, independent lifestyle.”

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
