TAXUS STENT LAWYER
Getting to the heart of the matter

Taxus Stents are employed in angioplasty procedures (to help prevent heart attacks) and bypass surgery.

Recently, however, drug-coated Taxus Stents were discovered to carry a higher health risk, said a taxus stent lawyer at Weitz & Luxenberg, P.C.

UPDATE: November 29, 2006--An analysis by the Cleveland Clinic Foundation, published in the American Journal of Medicine, found that blood clots are four to five times more likely to develop in patients with drug-coated stents, compared to the older, bare-metal versions.

Weitz & Luxenberg is no longer accepting Taxus Stent cases.
