Stereotaxis has announced the successful completion of the world’s first procedures using Magic Sweep—the “first and only” robotically navigated, high-density electrophysiology (EP) mapping catheter. The procedures were performed by Raffaele Corbisiero and Pedram Kazemian at Deborah Heart and Lung Center in Browns Mills, USA.
“We’re excited to be the first to demonstrate the value of robotic, high-density mapping and to offer this important innovation to our patients,” said Corbisiero. “The ability to create a more accurate, detailed map of complex anatomy is important in diagnosing and treating arrhythmias. We have been impressed with the catheter during our experience mapping several different arrhythmias in the atria and ventricles.”
“Navigating Magic Sweep to any desired cardiac location was easy—the catheter maintained stable contact with cardiac tissue, electrogram signals were very clear, and the catheter caused no ectopy in the ventricle,” added Kazemian. “This is a significant leap forward for the community of robotic electrophysiologists, and we look forward to the positive impact its expanded use will have on our patients and the EP field.”
Stereotaxis has initiated the commercial launch of Magic Sweep in the USA following the catheter’s recent US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) clearance. Magic Sweep has also been submitted for regulatory clearance in Europe.
