“ Integrity, Honesty, Experience.

Hundreds have been seriously injured and over 60 patients have lost their lives resulting from complications after having the Cordis Cypher Coronary Stent implanted. The most common complication has been the occurrence of thrombosis (clotting), but the FDA has also received many reports of hypersensitivity reactions.

In October of 2003, after reviewing all of these reports of adverse events occuring with the Cordis Cypher Coronary Stent, the FDA released a notice to physicians warning them of these possible adverse events, and urging them to be vigilant of patients implanted with the stent.

 

 

 

 

 

The Cypher Stent was approved by the FDA in April 2003, and since then over 450,000 have been implanted in patients worldwide. The stent is a small wire scaffold used to support weakened blood vessel walls following a ballon angioplasty to re-open blocked blood passages. The Cordis Cypher Coronary Stent in particular is a drug-eluting stent which releases Sirolimus in order to prevent scar tissue from forming and clogging the re-opened passage.

 

Remember! Don't wait until it's too late! The law puts time limits on how long you can wait before bringing a case. The time limits and conditions vary from state-to-state and under Federal Law.
