TAXUS Stent Recall News & Warnings

You can use this section to do research about the TAXUS Stents. You can read Breaking News, and get recall information from sources such as the FDA in the sections below.

• Recall of Certain Boston Scientific Coronary Stents: Boston Scientific Corporation has recalled some of its coronary stent systems. The recall covers certain lots of both TAXUS Express2 drug-eluting stent systems and Express2 systems without drugs.

• Class 1 Recall: Boston Scientific Taxus™ Express2TM (paclitaxel-eluting) Coronary Stent : The balloon on the stent delivery catheter is then deflated and the delivery catheter is removed from the patient. The stent remains permanently implanted supporting the newly opened section of the vessel. A drug, paclitaxel, is slowly released into the artery wall around the stent. The drug is supposed to reduce the chance of vessel narrowing again in the stented segment of the vessel.

• Class 1 Recall: Boston Scientific Express2TM (bare metal) Coronary Stent : When the stent is correctly positioned, the balloon is inflated, causing the stent to expand. Expansion of the stent pushes the plaque aside, opening the narrowed section of the artery restoring normal blow flow to the heart. The balloon on the stent delivery catheter is then deflated and the delivery catheter is removed from the patient. The stent remains permanently implanted supporting the newly opened section of the vessel.
