Oulu University Hospital Enhances Leadership in Arrhythmia Care with Advanced Genesis Robotic Technology
14 January 2025 - 11:21PM
Stereotaxis (NYSE: STXS), a pioneer and global leader in surgical
robotics for minimally invasive endovascular intervention, today
announced that physicians at Oulu University Hospital in Finland
have successfully treated the first patients using the advanced
Genesis Robotic Magnetic Navigation (RMN) System from Stereotaxis.
Oulu University Hospital has significant
experience pioneering the use of robotic technologies for the
treatment of heart arrhythmias, having treated over 2,000 patients
with original versions of the technology. The implementation of the
latest Genesis System introduces significant advances in Robotic
Magnetic Navigation technology to the northern regions of Finland.
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 15 years, advanced robotic technology has
been essential to our team, allowing us to provide superior patient
care for patients with complex cardiac arrhythmias,” said Dr.
Jarkko Magga, Cardiac Electrophysiologist at Oulu University. “We
are pleased to continue to provide the highest quality patient care
with the precision and stability offered by the more advanced
Genesis System.”
“We are proud to enhance and expand our
partnership with Oulu University to ensure patients in Finland have
access to leading cardiac care,” said David Fischel, Chairman and
CEO of Stereotaxis. “We look forward to continuing to support their
successful and impactful robotic heart rhythm practice.”
