Baptist Health Lexington Enhances 20-Year Leadership in Pioneering Advanced Robotic Technology for Heart Disease Patients - Seite 2

Lewis Wilkerson was just one of Dr. Tomassoni’s many patients who has benefited from the use of Robotic Magnetic Navigation. In 2006, Lewis realized something was not right with his heart during one of his regular outdoor runs. His wife recommended he see their local cardiologist, Dr. Andy Bustin who, after discovering he had an arrhythmia, referred him to Dr. Tomassoni. Due to the complexity of Lewis’s arrhythmia, Dr. Tomassoni recommended a cardiac ablation using the Stereotaxis RMN system. A pharmacist, as is his wife, Lewis did his research and, after learning that Dr. Tomassoni has been doing these procedures since 2003 when the system was first installed at Central Baptist Hospital, knew that he was in good hands at this critical time in his life. Three days after his procedure, Lewis was back to his daily runs.

“The cooperation of my doctors, the expertise of Dr. Tomassoni, and the equipment he used, all combined to help me live the life I’m living today”, said Lewis this week. “This new technology, invested in by Baptist Health Lexington, along with the expertise of their staff; will continue to help so many Kentuckians just like me. My wife and I will always be grateful for the compassion the staff showed us, and the knowledge they have about the human heart.”

“Our long-term collaboration with Baptist Health Lexington has been instrumental for technological progress, scientific discovery, and clinical care,” said David Fischel, Chairman and CEO of Stereotaxis. “We look forward to expanding the success of robotic ablation practices for patients suffering from arrhythmias in Kentucky.”
