Hospital Da Luz is the First in Portugal to Adopt Genesis Robotic System
ST. LOUIS, Nov. 20, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 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."
