INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — It’s estimated that one out of every 25 Americans suffer from sleep apnea. It’s a sleep disorder that can not only leave people feeling exhausted, but it can also lead to high blood pressure and even heart failure. Now, a new procedure offers patients hope.
It’s called Inspire Upper Airway Stimulation Therapy. It was approved by the FDA a year ago. Patients are reporting a nearly 70% success rate. Only a couple dozen physicians in the world are trained to perform the procedure. One of those doctors is right here in Indiana at St Vincent.
