Many lawsuits were filed claiming that the AngioDynamics\u2019 and its subsidiary Navilyst Medical\u2019s port catheters caused serious injuries, and these were consolidated into federal <a href=\"https:\/\/www.govinfo.gov\/content\/pkg\/USCOURTS-jpml-1_24-F-03125\/pdf\/USCOURTS-jpml-1_24-F-03125-0.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">multidistrict litigation<\/a> so that the lawsuits could be more efficiently and consistently handled. If you or a loved one was injured by an AngioDynamic port catheter, you should call the seasoned Chicago-based lawyers of Moll Law Group to find out whether you have a viable claim. Billions have been recovered in cases with which we\u2019ve been involved.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Call Moll Law Group About Your Claim<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The AngioDynamic lawsuits allege that the manufacturer used too much barium sulfate in the port catheters. This substance caused cracking, pitting, and degradation in the devices, and made them more likely to fracture such that they could perforate organs or blood vessels or lead to blood clots and more. Some of the injuries reported have included pulmonary embolism, mechanical failures, infection, components getting embedded in tissue, and foreign objects migrating in patients\u2019 bodies. When a catheter fractures inside a patient, other serious complications can occur including heart rhythm difficulties and bleeding, and further surgeries may be needed. In addition to being expensive, these procedures may come with substantial pain and suffering and emotional anguish.<\/p>\n<p>The plaintiffs in 19 actions moved to centralize the litigation in the Western District of Missouri. The defendants opposed the motion and proposed, in the alternative, other districts. It was determined that the actions involved common factual questions about the excessive barium sulfate concentration that caused the material to degrade and fracture, and so centralization in the Southern District of California, where five of the actions were pending, would be in the interests of the parties\u2019 and witness\u2019 convenience and promote just and efficient litigation.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.molllawgroup.com\/blog\/angiodynamics-port-catheter-cases\/#more-3758\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AngioDynamics port catheters are devices that give patients long-term access to their veins for treatments like chemotherapy.
