MicroVention Inc. has recalled 11 units of its LVIS Intraluminal Support Device, a medical stent used during brain aneurysm treatments. The recall was issued because the material covering the stent may prevent it from being pushed out of its delivery tube during surgery. No injuries have been reported, but a failure to deploy the stent correctly could lead to surgical complications or delays. If you or a family member have recently undergone an aneurysm procedure involving a stent, contact your healthcare provider or surgeon.
The material encasing the stent loop can stick to the delivery tube, preventing the stent from deploying into the patient's blood vessel. This defect could lead to an unsuccessful procedure or require additional medical intervention.
Intended to serve as a stent-assisted coiling (SAC) device for wide-necked aneurysms.
If you or a family member were harmed by this recalled product, you may have legal rights. Consider consulting a consumer protection attorney to understand your options for compensation.
