TAXUS Stents Lawsuit -
Research the Recall and Your Legal Options



Please be advised that the law firm of Weitz & Luxenberg is no longer accepting TAXUS Stent cases

Were you harmed by a TAXUS Stent? If so, filing a lawsuit will protect your legal rights.

Recent studies have indicated drug-coated stents carry a higher risk of potentially fatal blood clots.

The drug coatings are intended to help prevent formation of scar tissue that can form new blockages after surgery to implant stents, which are metal-mesh tubes that prop open coronary arteries.

If you've been hurt by a TAXUS stent, a lawyer can help you take the next step. In this section you can learn more about Taxus Stents, read updated news & warnings, and get answers to frequently asked questions.
