Viking Systems' 3DHD Receives Enthusiastic Response at  The 12th World Congress of Endoscopic Surgery

Viking Systems, Inc.           On Tuesday April 20, 2010, 6:00 am EDT

WESTBOROUGH, Mass., April 20, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Viking Systems  (OTCBB:VKNG - News) announced today  that preclinical surgical video created using a Viking Systems' "Next  Generation" 3DHD prototype visualization system displayed on a Sony  prototype medical grade 3DHD monitor was enthusiastically received  during The 12th World Congress of Endoscopic Surgery held at the Gaylord  National Hotel in National Harbor, Maryland held from April 14 - 17,  2010.

Sony announced April 14^th that the surgery displayed at the  Congress was conducted at a major medical center in Durham, N.C. using  Viking Systems' "Next Generation" 3DHD System, with the output displayed  on a Sony prototype medical grade, 24-inch 3DHD monitor and recorded on  Sony's new SRW-5800 3D-capable recorder. The procedure was performed on  the gallbladder of an adult pig. Evan Krachman, Sony Marketing Manager,  Surgical Applications, stated, "Sony is committed to developing 3D  technologies for the surgical market. Our experience in manufacturing  high-performance video technology for the broadcast and video industries  allowed us to deliver high-quality HD to the surgical field, and now  we're further extending that expertise by delivering an even higher  level of detail and texture with 3D."

Sony's announcement went further to report that Eric J. DeMaria, M.D.  said, "Using 3D cameras in the OR has changed my sense of depth and  space while performing minimally invasive surgery. In our recent tests,  Sony's technology has helped provide a truer visual experience --  similar to that of natural sight, even when performing laparoscopic  surgical tasks deep within the abdominal cavity." Jed Kennedy, President  & CEO of Viking Systems, Inc. stated, "Dr. DeMaria's comments are  consistent with what we have heard from other surgeons during  preclinical evaluations of Viking's 'Next Generation' 3DHD visualization  system as well as the many observations made during the World Congress  of Endoscopic Surgery last week."

A central focus of The 12th World Congress of Endoscopic Surgery was  "The World of Technique." The program highlighted different surgical  techniques and strategies from around the world. A world-class faculty  emphasized surgical technique using didactics, images, and video  addressing both established and novel therapeutic modalities from North  America and beyond.

Viking Systems plans to launch its "Next Generation" 3DHD System in the  fourth quarter of 2010. The system is targeted to provide the highest  quality 3DHD visualization in a cost effective, standalone solution  available to minimally invasive surgeons world wide.
