ST. LOUIS, Sept. 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Stereotaxis (NYSE: STXS), a pioneer and global leader in surgical robotics for minimally invasive endovascular intervention, today announced successful first procedures by physicians at Erasmus University Medical Center in Rotterdam, The Netherlands, using the advanced Genesis Robotic Magnetic Navigation System.
“We have long recognized the clinical benefits of robotics, and are delighted to be the first in The Netherlands to make the Genesis robotic system available to cardiovascular patients,” said Dr. Sing-Chien Yap, Director of Electrophysiology at Erasmus Medical Center. “We are impressed with the speed and responsiveness of Genesis. Combined with the MAGiC Catheter we are particularly pleased with the synergistic additive improvements to robotic magnetic navigation. These technological advances are important in ensuring we can offer the best care to all arrhythmia patients, including children, patients with congenital heart disease, and patients with complex arrhythmia.”
Erasmus MC has been a global leader in using robotic magnetic navigation for complex arrhythmia procedures, having performed over 4,500 procedures with Stereotaxis technology. 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, arrhythmia may significantly increase the risk of stroke, heart failure, and sudden cardiac arrest.
“We appreciate our long-term partnership with the electrophysiology team at Erasmus,” said David Fischel, Stereotaxis Chairman and CEO. “We look forward to continuing to support their successful robotic program and working together to advance technological progress, scientific discovery, and clinical care.”
