Taxus stent formed a blood clot on August 4 resulting in a massive heart attack.

Submitted 2007-08-13

Defendant: Drug Eluting Stents (blood clot or heart attack)

I suffered a heart attack on August 4 and was administered clot busting medication to keep me alive at Kenora Hospital in Kenora Ontario. On August 7 I was then transferred to St. Boniface Hospital in Winnipeg Manitoba where an angiogram and ultrasound was performed.
The heart attack had damaged my heart and was attributed to a blood clot that formed in my Taxus stent. I am now on Warfarin to ensure no clots form in my heart chamber and then am looking at a lifetime of Plavix and aspirin. I have also lost my drivers license for the next 30 days. I also face a future of uncertainty regarding the Taxus stent and possible side effects and risks.
