Are you in need of legal advice?
If you or a loved one had surgery to correct an abdominal aortic aneurysm (also known as an "AAA," a "triple A," "dissecting AAA," etc.), you may be at grave risk of complications from the surgery.
In mid-2001, the FDA notified doctors about problems with two endovascular repair devices with a relatively high level of complications: the Guidant Endovascular Solution Ancure system and the Medtronic AVE AneuRx system. These AAA treatments can cause severe complications including death during surgery to insert the device, and other serious conditions following surgery.
If you have had either the Guidant or the Medtronic stent or graft device surgically implanted in you to repair your abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), you may be in need of legal advice. Please contact us immediately for a free consultation.
Passage of time can cause legal rights to lapse, so it is important that you seek legal advice immediately.
