“The most effective way to treat AF is by isolating the pulmonary veins. The problem is that this is difficult to do with current technologies. Stereotaxis makes it possible to enable these more complex procedures because of the systems ability to precisely navigate a catheter.”
Charles I. Haffagee, MD
St. Elizabeth’s Medical Center; Boston, MA
“Patients who previously would have had bypass surgery are now being treated with drug eluting stents in an interventional manner. There is going to be a greater demand to take on more complex lesions and to deliver drug eluting stents into more difficult locations than ever before. We really see the Niobe® system as the method of helping us to deliver therapy into more challenging areas of coronary anatomy”
Roderick B. Meese, MD Trinity Mother Frances Hospital; Tyler, TX
“The future of Electrophysiology is to effectively enable therapy delivery in complex cases. We must replace the decade old tools we currently attempt to adapt to treat these cases. We need catheters that are flexible, go where we direct them, with tremendous precision, atraumatically, and with consistency. No other technology can accomplish what Stereotaxis can with a catheter.”
Larry A. Chinitz, MD
NYU School of Medicine; New York, NY
“After an initial learning curve, magnetic navigation has shown the potential for clear advantages for left ventricular lead placement. With the efficiency of magnetic navigation, we believe difficult procedures will become more routine. This simplifies a complex procedure, which we expect to result in time savings and resource savings. We believe that we have just begun to recognize the potential for magnetic navigation in this procedure.”
Peter Gallagher, MD,
Central Baptist Hospital
“The ability to access the preferred vessels with more consistency, and do so within 30 seconds is amazing. In our lab the Stereotaxis system has proven its value with regards to reliable LV lead placements and managing our lab schedule with less uncertainty. I’m very optimistic about applying this technology to other applications going forward.”
Eric E. Johnson, MD FACC
Consultative Electrophysiologist,
Pacing & Arrhythmology Management
Baptist Hospital, Memphis, TN
“The Stereotaxis endoluminal view for magnetic navigation has always been my dream. It may very well be a quantum leap in the process of vessel navigation. Additionally, we are pleased with wire technology progress, as it will bring us closer , we believe, to the development of a CTO or Chronic Total Occlusion solution built around customized wire navigation, including an ablation component and coupling these to 3D image integration.”
Professor P.W. Serruys, M.D., Ph.D., FACC, FESC Prof. of Interventional Cardiology Head of Interventional Department, Thoraxcenter Erasmus Medical Center, Rotterdam, Netherlands
“Stereotaxis is not simply a futuristic system to aid electrophysiologists in catheter ablation procedures to cure atrial fibrillation. Rather, it is a clinical platform that can allow magnetic guidance of wires or catheters throughout the complex and often serpentine vasculature of the human body. This ability will allow clinicians to deliver a variety of therapies to enhance patients' health.”
Eric Prystowsky, M.D. Director, Clinical Electrophysiology Laboratory St. Vincent Hospital, Indianapolis, Indiana Consulting Professor of Medicine Duke University Medical Center, Durham, North Carolina
