Overland Park Regional Medical Center Extends Leadership in Robotic Treatment of Heart Rhythm Disorders with Plans for Second Stereotaxis System
13 Septembre 2022 - 03:06PM
Stereotaxis (NYSE: STXS), a pioneer and global leader in surgical
robotics for minimally invasive endovascular intervention, today
announced that Overland Park Regional Medical Center (OPRMC) is
establishing its second robotic program for the treatment of heart
rhythm disorders.
OPRMC, a part of HCA Midwest Health, first
established a robotic heart rhythm care program in 2019. Since
then, it has built a leading practice that applies advanced robotic
technology to treat a broad range of arrhythmias, including those
often considered too challenging for traditional approaches. OPRMC
is now among the first in the nation to adopt the Genesis Robotic
Magnetic Navigation system, the latest advance in robotic
technology and will become the first hospital in the U.S. to double
its capacity for robotic cardiac ablation with two Stereotaxis
systems for patients receiving minimally invasive cardiac ablation
procedures.
“The Kansas City Heart Rhythm Institute at OPRMC
has successfully built a reputation for leadership in clinical care
and healthcare research. Our robotic electrophysiology program has
been an important pillar in that success,” said Dr. Dhanunjaya
Lakkireddy, Executive Medical Director for the Kansas City Heart
Rhythm Institute. “We are excited to bring the latest robotic
technology to our community.”
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 expand our partnership with
Dr. Lakkireddy and Overland Park Regional Medical Center as they
improve patient care, advance clinical science, and continue to
grow a leading arrhythmia care program in Kansas City,” said David
Fischel, Chairman and CEO of Stereotaxis.
About StereotaxisStereotaxis is
the global leader in innovative robotic technologies designed to
enhance the treatment of arrhythmias and perform endovascular
procedures. Its mission is the discovery, development and delivery
of robotic systems, instruments, and information solutions for the
interventional laboratory. These innovations help physicians
provide unsurpassed patient care with robotic precision and safety,
expand access to minimally invasive therapy, and enhance the
productivity, connectivity, and intelligence in the operating room.
Stereotaxis technology has been used to treat over 100,000 patients
across the United States, Europe, Asia, and elsewhere. For more
