Saint Barnabas Medical Center is among
the first hospitals in New Jersey to provide electrophysiologists
with the state-of-the-art Hansen Sensei Robotic Catheter
System that can help them . The new robotically-controlled catheter offers
superior treatment for atrial fibrillation.
The robotic navigation system changes
the way we perform complex minimally invasive electrophysiology
procedures,” said Marc Roelke, MD,
Director of Electrophysiology at the Saint Barnabas Heart
Centers at Saint Barnabas Medical Center and Newark Beth
Israel Medical Center.
“Surgical robotic technology has
proven to be a tremendous advantage in the operating room
and now similar precision and stability are available in
minimally invasive catheterbased procedures,” noted
John F. Bonamo, MD, MS, Executive Director of Saint Barnabas
Medical Center. “We are proud to bring this advancement
to physicians and patients in New Jersey.”
 The robotic
catheter system is already installed and physicians are
currently being trained at the Hansen training site.
