Zachary A. Camann

Over the years I have had many serious procedures -- 2 aortic valve replacements, an abdominal aortic aneurysm with five followup procedures to repair leaks, pacemaker and defibrillator implant. Most of these required general anesthesia and whenever I had general anesthesia I would experience severe hiccups lasting two to three weeks. When I went into UMass Worcester - University campus for an interventionist radiology attempt to fix the aneurysm leak, Dr. Camann listened to my problem and worked with me and the surgeon to come up with an alternative. We were able to have the surgery using sedation instead of general anesthesia and today -- while I am sore from the surgery, there are no hiccups! Dr Camann was kind and found a solution for me.
