GlobeNewswire Inc.
Stereotaxis (NYSE: STXS), the global leader in innovative robotic
technologies for the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias, celebrates
the achievements of the highly skilled electrophysiology team at
The Heart Centre Rigshospitalet, Copenhagen University Hospital for
successfully completing more than 5,000 robotic cardiac ablation
procedures using Denmark’s only robotic system for the treatment of
heart rhythm disorders.
The Heart Centre Rigshospitalet at the
University of Copenhagen is the leading user of advanced robotic
technology for the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias among a hundred
hospitals globally. Electrophysiologists use the technology to
repair the electrical circuits of the heart in a minimally invasive
procedure called cardiac ablation. Robotic technology is designed
to provide increased precision and safety during the procedure. The
experience of Rigshospitalet across 5,000 procedures demonstrates
these benefits with exceptional procedure success and safety
records. Since its installation in 2006, Rigshospitalet physicians
have used Stereotaxis RMN technology to treat a broad range of
patients including complex cases unsuitable for traditional
treatments. Among the thousands of patients who have benefited from
robotic ablation are pediatric and congenital heart disease
patients.
Clinical cardiac electrophysiologist, Dr. Xu
Chen, leads physicians in the world with the most robotic cardiac
ablation procedures performed with Stereotaxis technology, having
completed over 4,000 procedures. Dr. Chen has contributed to a
significant body of clinical evidence on the use of robotics in
electrophysiology by authoring and collaborating on 13
peer-reviewed studies.
“We are proud to celebrate this milestone and
our contribution to improving patient care and advancing important
technology for our field,” said Dr. Peter Karl Jacobsen, Head of
Invasive Electrophysiology, ablation section, cardiology at
Rigshospitalet.
“We have always pursued the best treatment for
our patients and are glad we could help so many patients
effectively and with great safety,” added Dr. Chen, Chief Physician
and clinical cardiac electrophysiologist at Rigshospitalet.
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. Robotic
Magnetic Navigation introduces the benefits of robotic precision
and safety to cardiac ablation. Robotic cardiac ablation is
performed using a soft magnetic catheter navigated inside the heart
by a physician seated at a computer cockpit. The physician
navigates the catheter using precise, robotically actuated magnets
positioned on either side of the patient.
“We celebrate the Rigshospitalet
electrophysiology team on this significant milestone,” said David
Fischel, Stereotaxis Chairman and CEO. “To have treated 5,000
patients is an extraordinary feat. It reflects an outsized impact
Rigshospitalet has had on advancing patient care, clinical science,
and technology development in electrophysiology.”
