University of Kansas Medical Center Enhances Robotic Heart Care Program with Genesis Robotic Technology

Stereotaxis Press Release 

St. Louis, Nov. 6, 2024 – Stereotaxis (NYSE: STXS), a pioneer and global leader in surgical robotics for minimally invasive endovascular intervention, today announced that physicians at the University of Kansas Health System have successfully treated the first patients using the advanced Genesis Robotic Magnetic Navigation (RMN) System from Stereotaxis.

The health system is renowned for diagnosing and treating complex heart conditions. The Genesis System is the latest advancement in Robotic Magnetic Navigation technology. 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.
 
“For years, advanced robot technology has been instrumental in our ability to deliver superior care to our patients, allowing us to navigate complex cardiac procedures with improved accuracy and safety,” said Dr. Seth Sheldon, Cardiac Electrophysiologist at the health system. “The robotic precision and stability offered by the Genesis System allows us to deliver precise, personalized treatments to our patients, ultimately improving outcomes and quality of life.”
 
“We are proud to continue our partnership with the health system to deliver exceptional cardiac care to patients in Kansas City,” said David Fischel, Chairman and CEO of Stereotaxis. “We look forward to continuing to support their successful and impactful robotic heart rhythm care program.”
