Corewell Health Grows Robotic Program to Treat Heart Rhythm Disorders with Adoption of Stereotaxis’ Genesis System
December 20 2022 - 09:04AM
GlobeNewswire Inc.
Stereotaxis (NYSE: STXS), the global leader in robotic technologies
for the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias, today announced the
successful treatment of patients using the latest Genesis Robotic
Magnetic Navigation (RMN) system by physicians of the nationally
recognized Fred & Lena Meijer Heart Center, part of Corewell
Health in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
Electrophysiologists at Corewell Health have
established a successful robotic cardiac ablation program treating
nearly 500 patients using advanced robotic technology. The hospital
is now among the first in the world, and the first in Michigan, to
offer the latest in RMN technology with the Genesis system.
“Robotics is an integral part of our
electrophysiology program at Corewell Health and reflects our
ongoing commitment of being at the forefront of cardiovascular
care,” said Dr. Musa Dahu, cardiac electrophysiologist at Corewell
Health. “Adopting the Genesis RMN system will allow us to continue
to provide the most advanced care for patients including those
suffering from the most complex cardiac arrhythmias.”
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,
arrhythmias may significantly increase the risk of stroke, heart
failure, and sudden cardiac arrest.
“We are delighted to continue our partnership
with the physicians at Corewell Health as they advance the
frontiers of patient care and clinical science,” said David
Fischel, Chairman and CEO of Stereotaxis. “We look forward to
working with Corewell Health to extend its leadership in arrhythmia
care in Grand Rapids.”
