Penn Presbyterian Medical Center Becomes First Hospital in the Northeast to Adopt Advanced Robotic Technology for Heart Treatment
May 29 2024 - 8:25AM
Stereotaxis (NYSE: STXS), a pioneer in surgical robotics for
minimally invasive endovascular intervention, today announces the
successful treatment of the first heart rhythm patients by Penn
Presbyterian Medical Center (PPMC) utilizing the advanced Genesis
Robotic Magnetic Navigation System.
PPMC, part of the University of Pennsylvania
Health System, renowned for advanced clinical research, innovation,
and compassionate patient care, stands at the forefront as the
first in the Northeast United States to offer the Genesis System.
Genesis 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, arrhythmias may
significantly increase the risk of stroke, heart failure, and
sudden cardiac arrest.
“Our adoption of advanced robotic technology
significant enhances our ability to precisely diagnose and treat
patients suffering from complex cardiac arrhythmias,” said Dr.
Benjamin D’Souza, Cardiac Electrophysiologist at Penn Presbyterian
Medical Center. “We are committed to leveraging cutting-edge
innovations to provide patients with the best care. Our team has
leveraged the precision and safety of robotics to treat patients
that often have few other options for care. With unmatched
accuracy, we can tailor treatments to each patient's unique
anatomy, enhancing safety and efficacy.”
“We are excited to partner with Penn
Presbyterian to pioneer the Genesis Robotic System in the
Northeast,” said David Fischel, Chairman and CEO
of Stereotaxis. “We look forward to supporting Penn
Presbyterian in growing a highly successful and impactful robotic
heart care program that advances patient care, clinical research
and technology advancement.”
