Company to Exhibit Surgical Ablation System Products at ACTS 2009
and American Association of Thoracic Surgeons Meetings
Cardima, Inc. (OTCBB: CADM) today announced that surgical
ablation thought leader, Dr. Li Poa, will present data from his
experience with the Cardima Surgical Ablation System at the ACTS 2009:
Advanced Cardiac Techniques in Surgery Meeting on May 7, 2009. Cardima
also will showcase its products and technologies at the ACTS 2009
meeting being held on May 6-7, 2009 in New York, as well as at the 89th
Annual Meeting of the American Association for Thoracic Surgery (AATS)
May 9-13, 2009 in Boston. Cardima executives will attend both
conferences to meet with industry executives and interested investors.
Dr. Poa, FACS, Chief of Cardiothoracic Surgery and Cardiac Surgery
Program Director at Stamford Hospital, Connecticut, and faculty member
of Columbia University, New York, heads the Cardima Center of Excellence
and Training Program at Stamford Hospital. “I look forward to presenting
data collected from procedures using the Cardima Surgical Ablation
System in my presentation, ‘Keys to Surgical Ablation: Stamford
Experience with the Cardima System,’” Dr. Poa said. “The Cardima system
is capable of creating a fairly complete, complex lesion set during both
open- and closed-chest procedures. It can reliably and reproducibly
establish both entrance and exit conduction block, which is an important
attribute for achieving effective, long-term ablation results.
Additionally, the system is capable of creating continuous transmural
lesions without gaps, and can be easily manipulated to create all the
necessary lesions for a full surgical procedure.”
“We are delighted that Dr. Poa, a recognized world-leading authority on
surgical ablation, will share his experience with the Cardima Surgical
Ablation System at this international gathering of cardiothoracic
surgeons and thought-leaders,” said Cardima’s CEO, Robert Cheney.
“Creating awareness about the advanced features of our Surgical Ablation
System at key meetings such as the ACTS 2009 and AATS, along with
developing Centers for Excellence and broadening distribution are
integral parts of our strategy to support product adoption.”
