Stereotaxis' MAGiC Catheter Treats First US Patient Post-FDA Approval

AI Summary

Stereotaxis announced the successful treatment of the first US patient using its MAGiC™ robotically-navigated magnetic interventional cardiac ablation catheter. The MAGiC catheter, recently FDA PMA approved, is specifically designed for arrhythmia in patients with complex congenital heart disease. The initial procedure at Oregon Health & Science University successfully treated a patient with challenging anatomy, who had previously failed manual ablation attempts, with no recurrence weeks post-procedure. This marks a significant advancement in treating complex arrhythmia patients.
