Boston Scientific Recalls Stent System

A Class I recall has been issued for 505 Boston Scientific Innova Over-the-Wire Self-Expanding Stents.  The Stent System is designed to treat peripheral vascular lesions in arteries above the knee, specifically symptomatic de novo or restenotic lesions in the native superficial femoral artery (SFA) and/or proximal popliteal artery (PPA).

Patients have complained that the stents have not deployed or only partially deployed. This could result in vessel wall injury, increased procedure time and/or emergency surgery to remove the partially deployed stent.

Class I recalls are the most serious type of recall.  In these cases, there is a reasonable probability that use of these products will cause serious adverse health consequences or death.

Customers should immediately discontinue use of any affected products.
