The Trinity Mother Frances Heart Institute introduces a revolutionary new way of treating coronary artery disease with the addition of Stereotaxis, a magnetic assisted interventional cardiac catheterization lab. Not to be confused with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which is an X-ray imaging technique, Stereotaxis is a cardiac catheterization lab that uses external magnets to help position the magnetic-tip guidewire as it is threaded by the physician through the patient's body to the blocked vessel.

With this new technology combination, physicians have precise and efficient control of the catheter tip with constant feedback as to the exact location of the catheter. This innovation offers physicians leading diagnostic, ablation, mapping, and steering technologies resulting in an ability to treat a broad range of routine or complex cardiac cases.

The catheter was co-developed by Stereotaxis and Biosense Webster and recently received FDA approval for use with the Stereotaxis Niobe® Magnetic Navigation System.

Peter Cheung, MD and Stan Weiner, MD, electrophysiologists with Tyler Cardiovascular Consultants, will be presiding over the procedure during the Webcast. Drs. Cheung and Weiner and the Trinity Mother Frances Heart Institute are at the forefront of this world-class technology.
