Computer-controlled magnetic catheterization available at the Baptist Heart Institute. The same magnets that can entertain children for hours are being used to navigate the heart, thanks to a new technology called Stereotaxis. The Baptist Heart Institute at Baptist Memorial Hospital-Memphis is the only Mid-South facility that offers this new technology, used in catheter-based cardiac procedures. Using Stereotaxis, Baptist physicians are now able to digitally steer the catheter without the manual effort of twisting, turning and pushing — giving them more control and accuracy. Even better, the improved navigation allows physicians to access hard-to-reach areas that were inaccessible before. The result is less strain, faster procedures and recovery, and in some cases, the potential to avoid surgery altogether. Ask your doctor if Stereotaxis is appropriate for you.  Top of Page |
