Lead Removal Medical Malpractice
Removal of an old lead is a very difficult and challenging procedure because the lead may have become overgrown with fibrous tissue and therefore stuck inside a major blood vessel. Extracting the lead can be dangerous but leaving it in place can make it more difficult to remove later because of the growth of fibrous tissue.

- Snap Shunt Ventricular Catheter, BioGlide®, Catalog Number 27802
- Snap Shunt Ventricular Catheter, BioGlide®, Catalog Number 27708
According to Medtronic, it has been determined from nine reports of disconnected catheters requiring revision surgery, that the listed ventricular catheters may become detached from the snap base assembly after implantation and that this condition may increase the need for emergency revision surgery.Consequences for a patient with failure of a Medtronic ventricular catheter may include: nausea, vomiting, headache, lethargy, change in mental status, seizures, visual disturbance, and other more serious conditions.
If you or a loved one has had to have emergency surgery due to a defective Medtronic catheter, you may have grounds for a Medtronic lawsuit.
Our law firm is representing a number of patients in Medtronic lawsuits. Our managing attorney for these Medtronic lawsuit cases is Elliot Olsen. If you would like to discuss your Medtronic catheter case with Elliot or another attorney at our law firm, please call 1-888-377-8900 (toll free) or submit our free consultation form.
