Stereotaxis announces first patients treated using Genesis RMN System

Stereotaxis announced that physicians have built upon their two-decades of leadership in robotic heart care with the successful treatment of first patients using the newest advancement in the technology, the Genesis Robotic Magnetic Navigation, RMN, System. Electrophysiologists at Baptist Health Lexington were the first globally to pioneer clinical use of Robotic Magnetic Navigation for the treatment of patients in 2003. The robotic technology represented an entirely novel way to address heart rhythm disorders in a minimally invasive procedure with the benefits of robotic precision and safety. In the ensuing years, the electrophysiology department, under the leadership of Dr. Gery Tomassoni, played central roles in advancing the technology and clinical science: authoring multiple scientific publications, participating in national clinical studies, guiding technology developments, and using robotic technology to treat over 1000 cardiac patients, including those with the most complex conditions. “Our long-term collaboration with Baptist Health Lexington has been instrumental for technological progress, scientific discovery, and clinical care,” said David Fischel, Chairman and CEO of Stereotaxis. “We look forward to expanding the success of robotic ablation practices for patients suffering from arrhythmias in Kentucky.”
