Current Heartmate II Lawsuits
There are many potential Thoratec HeartMate II cases currently under investigation across the United States. Anyone who is currently using a Thoratec HeartMate II Left Ventricular Assist System with catalogue numbers 1355 to 102139 is impacted by this FDA recall. The percutaneous lead that connects The Thoratec HeartMate 2 Left Ventrical Assist System with the System Controller has been found to wear or fatigue over time. This wearing down could interrupt pump function, resulting in surgery to replace the heart blood pump or potentially result in death.
