Hospital Da Luz is the First in Portugal to Adopt Genesis Robotic System
21 November 2024 - 12:18AM
Stereotaxis (NYSE: STXS), a pioneer and global leader in surgical
robotics for minimally invasive endovascular intervention, today
announced that physicians at the Hospital da Luz in Lisbon,
Portugal have successfully treated the first patients using the
advanced Genesis Robotic Magnetic Navigation (RMN) System.
“We are excited to be at the forefront of
technology and patient care by introducing the new Genesis System
at Hospital da Luz,” said Prof. Pedro Adragão, Cardiac
Electrophysiologist at Hospital da Luz. “Robotics allows us to
treat patients with effective individualized therapy and the
highest focus on safety. We are pleased to offer this high-level
care to all our patients, including those with the most complex
arrhythmia. We also are pleased to continue advancing this
important technology for the benefit of patients and medical
progress.”
Hospital da Luz Lisboa is a University Hospital
affiliated with the Luz Saude group, the largest health group in
Portugal. The hospital is a global leader in diagnosing and
treating complex heart conditions, having performed over 4,000
robotic cardiac ablation procedures. 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.
“We are delighted to expand our long-term
relationship with Prof. Adragão and Hospital da Luz,” said David
Fischel, Chairman and CEO of Stereotaxis. “We look forward to
supporting their efforts to improve patient care, advance clinical
science, and pioneer robotic innovation.”
