Advanced 3D Vessel Road Mapping and Magnetic Guidewire Navigation Capabilities
                        Demonstrated in Multiple Cases

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Stereotaxis, Inc. (Nasdaq: STXS) announced today the details of successful, live percutaneous coronary and peripheral cases performed with the Stereotaxis Magnetic Navigation System and broadcast to the Main Arena at the Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics (TCT) symposium, held this week in Washington D.C. In each of the cases, Stereotaxis technology was used to create a three-dimensional (3D) roadmap of a stenotic or occluded vessel which aided magnetic guidewire crossing of the occlusion or stenosis for successful delivery of the necessary therapy.

    -- Coronary Bifurcation Stenosis -- In the first case,  a 3D image of the
       bifurcation was constructed from multiple x-ray images and the images
       were overlaid on real-time fluoroscopy to create a centerline roadmap
       through the lesion.  Two Stereotaxis magnetic guidewires were
       efficiently navigated down the stenotic branches of the bifurcation.
       The guidewires successfully crossed the stenoses and two stents were
       deployed.  This procedure was performed on Monday, October 22 by Dr.
       Jeff Moses of New York Presbyterian/Columbia University Medical Center.

    -- Chronic Total Occlusion -- This second case included the treatment of a
       coronary chronic total occlusion, or CTO. A 3D roadmap of the fully
       occluded vessel, based on recently conducted CT studies, was created
       using the Stereotaxis system. Overlaid onto real-time fluoroscopy, the
       roadmap enabled guidewire advancement, CTO lesion crossing and therapy
       delivery. This procedure was also performed by Dr. Moses, on Tuesday,
       October 23.

    -- Subclavian Stenosis -- The third Stereotaxis live case demonstration at
       TCT, also on Tuesday the 23rd, was performed by Dr. Mark Reisman of the
       Swedish Heart and Vascular Institute, during which he used the
       Stereotaxis system to produce a 3D vascular map and successfully cross
       a subclavian stenosis to permit stent deployment. A prior two-hour
       conventional percutaneous intervention of this patient was unsuccessful
       due to extreme vessel tortuosity and larger vessel diameter. However,
       crossing of the subclavian lesion with a Stereotaxis 3D vessel roadmap
       and magnetic guidewire tip guidance was accomplished in less than 10
       seconds of wiring time.

"The Stereotaxis Magnetic Navigation platform enabled our procedure significantly by facilitating the passage of wires in complex peripheral anatomy," said Dr. Reisman. "This patient benefited by the reduced procedure time and contrast load, and resulted in the minimizing of potential complications to the neurovascular circulation."

"We are very pleased that these three patients were able to receive the treatment they needed, and that all are recovering well," said Bevil Hogg, CEO of Stereotaxis. "Their procedures demonstrate the clinical value of Stereotaxis' 3D vessel roadmaps and distal tip control of magnetic guidewires in the treatment of complex coronary and peripheral vasculature disease. We believe that Stereotaxis' advanced coronary and peripheral navigation capabilities can bring a new level of simplicity, safety and precision to a variety of vascular interventions, and we were proud that leading cardiologists chose to use our technology in live cases at TCT."

At TCT, Stereotaxis showcased the interventional cardiology capabilities of its Stereotaxis Magnetic Navigation System, which include CTO vessel road mapping and image integration, as well as the global connectivity capabilities of its Odyssey(TM) Network Solutions. In the "Cath Lab of the Future," which was sponsored by TCT, the company demonstrated important advances in vascular interventional technology and outlined plans to advance the therapeutic care of patients in the areas of CTO crossing using a steerable RF guidewire, as well as new approaches to the treatment of structural heart disease.

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 govern the motion of the working tip of the catheter or guidewire, resulting in improved navigation, shorter procedure time and reduced x-ray exposure. The core components of the Stereotaxis system have received regulatory clearance in the U.S., Europe and Canada.
