Stereotaxis Suite designed by Perspectus Architecture featured on NBC’s TODAY Show

CLEVELAND, OH; February 17, 2010 -- NBC’s TODAY Show recently featured Dr. Mauricio Arruda, a leading electro-physiologist and Director of the University Hospitals Heart & Vascular Institute in Cleveland, Ohio, performing a live cardiac ablation procedure using a Stereotaxis system during its morning broadcast.

Cleveland-based Perspectus Architecture designed the Stereotaxis Suite on behalf of University Hospitals. Perspectus principal Mike Lipowski AIA LEED AP served as the lead architect.

The patient was a 69-year-old woman who suffered from a severe cardiac arrhythmia, and the procedure was completed successfully. The Stereotaxis system allows the physician to control the tip of the catheter by using magnetic fields, providing reduced radiation exposure, a low major adverse event rate and clinical results which mimic the best hands in the world.
