Boston Scientific AXIOS Stent 20mm x 10mm recalled for deployment and expansion issues
Stop using Boston Scientific AXIOS Stent
Boston Scientific has recalled specific lots of the AXIOS Stent and Electrocautery-Enhanced Delivery System (20mm x 10mm) due to reports of stent deployment and expansion problems. In some cases, the stent may not deploy or expand properly, which could require additional procedures to remove the stent and repair the puncture site.
- If you have received or implanted one of the affected lot numbers listed in this recall, contact your healthcare provider immediately.
- Do not use any AXIOS Stent from the affected lots.
- Healthcare facilities should quarantine and return affected devices to Boston Scientific.
Increased reports of stent deployment and expansion issues. The most common outcome reasonably foreseeable resulting from difficulty deploying the stent is prolongation of the procedure to exchange the device for a new one. The most serious reasonably foreseeable outcome in cases where the first flange is unable to deploy or expand would be a cascade of events resulting in additional intervention, either endoscopic or surgical, to remove the stent and close the puncture site.
