Taxus Stent

What is the problem?

Boston Scientific is one of the biggest sellers in the medicated stent market. Boston Scientific's Taxus stent has been linked to very serious and life-threatening safety issues, which resulted in a recall announcement of over 100,000 of the medical devices.

The Taxus defect resulting in the recall involved a balloon used to expand the metal-mesh stents into place in a clogged coronary artery during angioplasty surgery. Some cases showed that the balloon failed to properly deflate, making it difficult to remove from the body.

The heart stent defect was linked to three deaths and dozens of serious injuries.
