Ancure Endograft (Stent Graft)- problems
Failure
of the Ancure
Endograft device can necessitate emergency surgery, and
can cause death. Obviously, this is an enormous rate of failure, which
raises serious concern for any patient implanted with the Ancure Endograft
device. As a result of its misconduct, in June of 1993, Guidant pled
guilty to criminal charges, and elected to cease manufacture of the
Ancure Endograft device. At least 75 people died and 991 were
injured after receiving the implants including Ancure Endograft according
to FDA records. Twelve of those deaths were associated with malfunctions
of the Ancure Endograft device that were never reported. Doctors often
had problems
implanting Ancure Endograft, with parts of the device getting
stuck in arteries or trouble removing the Ancure Endograft's plastic
sleeve. In one procedure, the surgeon would break the Ancure Endograft
apart and remove it piece by piece if it got stuck. Problems
with Ancure Endograft that is linked to several deaths were widely
known at the company that manufactured it.
If you have aver been implanted with Ancure
Endograft even if you never had experienced any problems with Ancure
Endograft you still can apply for compensation.
