Ancure Device Lawsuits
Heart Surgery Device Maker Charged With Cover Up
Ancure is the registered name for a "stent-graft" device used to treat abdominal aortic aneurysm without traditional surgical techniques. The medical device, part of the Ancure Endograft System, uses a catheter to insert a sheath through the femoral artery in the leg. The device was marketed as allowing physicians to repair bulges in the aorta without performing a major open surgery which can have significant complications.
The Ancure device was made by Endovascular Technologies of Menlo Park, California, a subsidiary of Indianapolis-based Guidant Corporation. On June 12, 2003, federal prosecutors charged Endovascular Technologies with 10 felony counts, including false statements to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in connection with the Ancure device. Lieff Cabraser attorneys represent Ancure patients in personal injury lawsuits.
