Drug Coated Heart Stents

Heart stents are medical devices used to open clogged arteries. During a heart stent procedure a wire mesh tube is inserted into a clogged artery and moved to where the blockage is preventing blood flow. The stent is then expanded and locked into place.

Drug-coated heart stents were introduced in April of 2003, and are coated with a special drug, designed to prevent future blockages in the artery. Over time the drug that coats the stent gradually wears off and is supposed to keep the artery open and blood flowing correctly.

Just months after being released to the public, the FDA released a warning about drug coated heart stents due to a link between the drug used on the heart stent and blood clots. Patients who have received drug coated heart stents are at a higher risk of blood clots forming around the heart stent.

If you believe that you or a loved one has suffered injuries, or death, related to a drug coated heart stent, it is important that you contact an experienced defective product attorney as soon as possible.
