As reported by Reuters, a drug-coated stent produced by medical device maker Medtronic has been linked to an increased risk of heart attack and clotting when compared to a competitive stent, according to a study released last week. The study, presented at the Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics conference and sponsored by Johnson & Johnson, also found that patients implanted with the Medtronic Endeavor stent were more likely to require repeat procedures. A spokesman for Medtronic disputed the study’s findings as premature.
