Stereotaxis’ Leadership in Robotic Cardiac Ablation to be Showcased at Heart Rhythm 2017 and First Annual Meeting of Society for Cardiac Robotic Navigation (Americas)

ST. LOUIS, April 25, 2017 -- Stereotaxis, Inc. (OTCQX:STXS), a global leader in innovative robotic technologies for the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias, announced today that it will participate in the annual Heart Rhythm Society (HRS) Scientific Sessions at McCormick Place in Chicago from May 10-13.

With a message centered on the effectiveness of Stereotaxis’ robotic technologies to improve patient outcomes and positively transform electrophysiology (EP) practices, the Company will present recent clinical results and case studies, demonstrate and provide hands-on interactions with its Niobe^® system, and be showcased in the inaugural meeting of the Americas chapter of the Society for Cardiac Robotic Navigation (SCRN[A]). Stereotaxis representatives will be available to discuss strategies for building a successful robotic ablation practice in Exhibit Hall Booth #1555.

On Tuesday prior to the opening of HRS, the SCRN(A) will host a symposium at Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, which will feature a live EP procedure using the Niobe system along with detailed insight into clinical applications and best practices for robotic ablation. SCRN is a society of leading electrophysiologists experienced in and advocating for further adoption of robotic technologies in interventional medicine. The symposium will serve as the SCRN(A)’s first annual meeting, which follows the European chapter’s inaugural meeting this past October in Amsterdam. Dr. Eugene Crystal, SCRN(A) President, and Dr. Georg Nӧlker, SCRN(EU) Founder, will co-chair the event.      

In the HRS Rhythm Theatre on Friday, May 12, Stereotaxis will offer a program highlighting the safe, effective utility of robotics in ablation for a wide variety of cardiac arrhythmias. Chaired by Dr. Dhanunjaya Lakkireddy of The University of Kansas Medical Center, the program will feature case reviews by a panel of expert robotic operators, including Dr. Sabine Ernst of Royal Brompton Hospital (London), Dr. Pasquale Santangeli at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania (Philadelphia), Dr. Tamas Szili-Torok of Erasmus Medical Center (Rotterdam, NL) and Dr. J. Peter Weiss at Intermountain Health Care (Murray, UT). In addition, HRS scientific proceedings will include three posters with the latest clinical data related to Stereotaxis technologies.

The Stereotaxis booth space will replicate the experience of a Niobe lab through several computer-based and physical simulations, which offer participants first-hand observation of the ease and effectiveness of robotic solutions in complex ablations. The Company also will demonstrate the latest iteration of the e-Contact™ module, its automated contact confirmation system designed to improve evaluation of tip-to-tissue contact, and showcase its newest generation Odyssey^® Vision system.
