t millimeter catheter, since its recent launch," said Bevil Hogg, CEO of Stereotaxis. "The Stereotaxis system is continuing to gain recognition from clinicians for its peerless safety record, reflected in the fact that Stereotaxis' incidence of all reported cardiovascular complications associated with the use of magnetic catheters for complex left-sided procedures stands at approximately 0.1%, representing what we estimate to be a greater than fifty-fold improvement over what has been reported by the Heart Rhythm Society for manual AF cases. The steady adoption of the Stereotaxis system, its increasing utilization and safety profile, are very encouraging. With additional milestones on the near-term horizon, we anticipate a favorable acceleration of our clinical usage in 2008."

"We are, for instance, looking forward to the near-term launch of our irrigated catheter in Europe, and its regulatory approval in the U.S. by year-end," added Mr. Hogg. "We are also expecting to announce at the upcoming TCT conference, a new solution for the treatment of complex vascular lesions, including chronic total occlusions, in the coronaries and peripheral vasculature. This will further demonstrate the power of the Niobe system as a platform which can be broadly expanded, with the potential to deliver simpler, safer, and less expensive treatments for complex cases across the full range of interventional practice."

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 coronary artery disease and arrhythmias. The Stereotaxis System is designed to enable physicians to complete more complex interventional procedures by providing image guided delivery of catheters and guidewires through the blood vessels and chambers of the heart to treatment sites. This is achieved using computer-controlled, externally applied magnetic fields that g
