Surgeon Chris Reis, MD, performed the procedure, Britt Durham, a Medtronic sales representative, said in a Sept. 1 LinkedIn post.  

The FDA  approved Vanta in June. The device has a battery life of up to 11 years, offering almost twice the device life of competitive primary cell devices.

At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
