Reason for Recall

On a few occasions the balloon has failed to deflate within one minute after deployment of the stent.

Firm Action

July 2 and 16, 2004 recall letters were sent to user accounts, such as Hospitals and clinics of the need to recall TAXUS Express2 Paclitaxel-Eluting and Express 2 Coronary Stent Systems. Recall was due to characteristics in the delivery catheters that had the potential to impede balloon deflation during a coronary angioplasty procedure, a condition known as focal neckdown. An additional 38 lots were added to the recall on August 5, 2004, for the same reason.
