Stereotaxis, Inc. announced the completion of the first 50 clinical procedures using the Company's new Niobe ES(TM) system to treat patients with a variety of complex cardiac arrhythmias. A majority of the first 50 cases were performed to treat atrial fibrillation (AF), the most common type of cardiac arrhythmia(1). Positive initial results with the Niobe ES system in Europe demonstrate that the average time for completion of mapping and ablation for the initial AF patients was 69 minutes. The data will be featured at the Boston Atrial Fibrillation Symposium 2012, to be held on January 12-14, 2012.

Telehealth becomes multi-dimensional
August 17, 2011
Nowhere is this new era of telehealth in brighter view than at the University of Miami, where the medical team at the health center’s cardiac catheterization laboratory is using the Odyssey program to integrate procedure data and video image synchronization. Odyssey, manufactured by St. Louis-based Stereotaxis, is designed to capture high definition images, synchronize procedure data and share it in real time with remote locations. Mauricio Cohen, MD, associate professor of medicine and director of University of Miami's cardiac cath lab stated that Odyssey is "Invaluable for managing lab information and recording cases for teaching purposes."
