Joanne DeVuono, a Cape May resident, recently underwent the first rheos pivotal trial in the region. DeVuono has a longterm history of high blood pressure that stems from her father's side of the family and was a perfect candidate for this type of surgery. Dr. John Blebea, Chief of Vascular Surgery for Temple University Hospital, explained that they had to insert a pacemaker-like device into DeVuono's chest and two receptors in her neck that would wrap around the two corroded arteries. This would keep her blood pressure stable.
