Stereotaxis (NYSE: STXS), a pioneer in surgical robotics for
minimally invasive endovascular intervention, today announced that
the first patients have been successfully treated using its
Magnetic Interventional Ablation Catheter, MAGiC™.
Stereotaxis’ MAGiC catheter is a robotically
navigated magnetic ablation catheter designed to perform minimally
invasive cardiac ablation procedures. The first human procedures
using the MAGiC catheter were successfully performed by Prof.
Germanas Marinskis and Assoc. Prof. Gediminas Račkauskas at Vilnius
University Hospital Santaros Klinikos in Lithuania. Eight patients
were treated in the first week of January, following receipt of
approvals to begin enrollment in the prospective clinical trial.
Data from the clinical trial will support the CE Mark submission of
MAGiC.
“We were delighted to perform the first
procedures using the MAGiC catheter, and were pleased with the
performance,” said. Assoc. Prof. Račkauskas. “The catheter was very
stable, effective and safe. We look forward to continued enrollment
in the coming weeks. The electrophysiology community has long
awaited innovation in robotic catheter technology, and we are
excited to support this progress.”
“This is a significant milestone for Stereotaxis
as we advance our comprehensive innovation strategy,” said David
Fischel, Stereotaxis Chairman and CEO. “We look forward to the
impact MAGiC, a key pillar in our new product ecosystem, will have
on patients, physicians, and the advancement of medicine.”
