Boston Scientific Corporation is recalling 1,659 units of its AXIOS and HOT AXIOS Stent and Delivery Systems due to increased reports of the stent failing to deploy or expand correctly during medical procedures. If the stent does not work as expected, doctors may need to significantly lengthen the procedure to swap the faulty device for a new one. In the most severe cases, a failure to deploy the first part of the stent can lead to a chain of medical complications requiring additional endoscopic or surgical intervention to remove the device and close the puncture site. These medical devices were distributed worldwide between December 2025 and February 2026.
The stent may fail to expand or release properly from the delivery system, which can cause procedural delays or necessitate emergency surgery to remove the trapped device and repair the internal puncture site.
