Stereotaxis (NYSE:STXS), a pioneer and global leader in surgical robotics for minimally invasive endovascular intervention, today announced successful first procedures by physicians at Erasmus University Medical Center in Rotterdam, The Netherlands, using the advanced Genesis Robotic Magnetic Navigation System.
Erasmus MC has been a global leader in using robotic magnetic navigation for complex arrhythmia procedures, having performed over 4,500 procedures with Stereotaxis technology. The Genesis System is the latest advancement in Robotic Magnetic Navigation technology. Robotic Magnetic Navigation introduces the benefits of robotic precision and safety to cardiac ablation, a common minimally invasive procedure to treat arrhythmias. Tens of millions of individuals worldwide suffer from arrhythmias – abnormal heart rhythms that result when the heart beats too quickly, too slowly, or with an irregular pattern. When left untreated, arrhythmia may significantly increase the risk of stroke, heart failure, and sudden cardiac arrest.
