Boston Scientific Stents - Investigation
If you have been impanted with a "Taxus Express" stent from Boston Scientific, and suffered complications and/or injuries from the procedure, you are urged to contact our law firm immediately to protect your legal rights.
According to published reports, doctors have continued reporting injuries during the implantation of cardiac stents made by Boston Scientific Corp., many of them linked to a problem that preceded a voluntary temporary recall of the devices last year. (Here is the FDA webpage announcing last year's stent recall).
In an article appearing in the Wall Street Journal, it was noted that "balloons used to deploy the stents -- small, wire-mesh tubes inserted into clogged arteries to open them up -- failed to deflate or were so hard to remove that three people died and dozens more were injured during operations performed after the 2004 recall."
| "In July and August of 2004, Boston Scientific issued a recall of 99,200 stent systems after three people died and dozens were injured when balloons used to insert the stents failed to deflate." |
A review of the FDA data shows that between last Oct. 1 and April 1, the agency received at least 45 reports of deflation difficulties with Boston Scientific stent balloons. In 86 other cases, doctors reported that the balloons became stuck or otherwise were difficult to withdraw from a patient's body.
If you have been implanted with the Boston Scientific Taxus Express Stent, you are urged to contact our law firm immediately to protect your legal rights.
Our law firm is currently investigating potential personal injury and/or class action cases against Boston Scientific, and if you think that you may have been harmed by your Stent procedure you are strongly encouraged to contact us. There is no charge, and no obligation. If we take your case, there is no fee for our services unless we win your case, or settle it in your favor.
On the other hand, if you fail to protect your legal rights now, you may lose the right to be compensated for your harm. (Persons seeking to preserve any potential legal claims should contact an attorney promptly, since all states have mandatory time periods in which lawsuits must be filed with the courts; otherwise, they may be forever barred).
Our firm has a great deal of experience in representing plaintiffs in “stent” cases, and in fact, is currently pursuing cases against Guidant for their "Ancure" stent device.
In addition, we have the resources to handle our own cases. This means that when you call our firm, you talk to your own lawyer who has been assigned to your own case.
Please contact us now (your privacy is assured). The secure form below only takes a couple of minutes to fill out, but if you are uncomfortable sending your information over the internet, please call our toll-free number at 800.921.1776 to speak to an attorney.
