COMPUTERIZED AID IN HEART SURGERY What draws attention to Stereotaxis (STXS) isn't just the odd name but its computerized system used in minimally invasive cardiac arrhythmia surgery.
About Stereotaxis Stereotaxis designs, manufactures and markets an advanced cardiology instrument control system for use in a hospital's interventional surgical suite to enhance the treatment of arrhythmias and coronary artery disease.
The safety and accuracy of the Stereotaxis system has been well documented in electrophysiology procedures, as have its ergonomic advantages and reduction of fluoro exposure," said John Young, MD, Director, Cardiovascular Innovation Program, The Ohio State University Medical Center, Columbus, Ohio.
