Dr. Margot Vloka

Saint Alphonsus Regional Medical Center

I was able to successfully ablate the slow pathway for AVNRT, 3mm away from a compact HIS signal. RMN afforded me the confidence in stability to ablate so close to the HIS.

Among the over 1,000 procedures she has completed with the Stereotaxis system, one in particular stands out for Dr. Margot Vloka of Saint Alphonsus Regional Medical Center in Boise, ID. “There was a college track and field star that came to me with a debilitating form of supraventricular tachycardia (SVT),” Dr. Vloka says. “She had undergone a few failed ablations and was ready to give up on her dreams. But using RMN, I was able to successfully ablate the slow pathway for AVNRT. The ablation was 3mm away from a compact HIS signal. RMN afforded me the confidence in stability to ablate so close to the HIS.”

Congratulations to Dr. Vloka for your innovation and for becoming the first woman to perform more than 1,000 procedures using Stereotaxis!
