In the days from 2nd to 4th April 2017 our division of Medical Technologies together with the Interventional Radiology and Cardiology Division attended the jubilee 20th annual run of Prague Workshop on Catheter Ablation with Live Demonstrations, held at the Congress Center in the Institute of Molecular Genetics, v.v.i. The main organizers of this event of global scale were Professor. MD. Josef Kautzner, PhD., FESC, Head of Cardiology Department of IKEM and Professor MD. Petr Neužil, PhD., FESC, Head of Cardiology Department, Hospital Na Homolce.

In this event, a series of 15 live transmissions from the catheter operation theatres from the both workplaces in Prague as well as an international broadcast from Cardio center in Leipzig and the Cardiology Hospital in Bordeaux took place.

One of these live broadcasts was also held with representatives of the manufacturer STEREOTAXIS in the Hospital Na Homolce where their device was used. PROMEDICA PRAHA GROUP, as. is an exclusive distributor of this manufacturer for the Czech Republic.

The workshop also served as an informal professional forum and a place for new meetings more or less experienced professionals involved in this issue. Thus the mission that the organizers set at the beginning was fulfilled – to promote this method of treatment for cardiac arrhythmia and development of international cooperation.
