Boston Scientific AXIOS Stent 20mm x 10mm recalled for deployment and expansion failures
Check your AXIOS Stent lot number immediately
Boston Scientific's AXIOS Stent (a medical device used in certain procedures) may fail to deploy or expand properly during use. If the stent does not expand as intended, patients may need additional procedures—either endoscopic or surgical—to remove the stent and repair the site.
- If you received this stent, contact your healthcare provider with your lot number immediately
- Healthcare providers should check the affected lot numbers listed in the recall notice
- Do not use any AXIOS Stent matching the recalled lot numbers
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.
