There have been numerous reports to the FDA of problems with vascular access ports manufactured by Horizon Medical Products. These are plastic tubes that are placed under he skin and threaded into large veins in the body. These provide access sites that allow drugs to be administered into a suitable vein. However, there have been numerous reports of the plastic catheters breaking off and traveling to other sites in the body like the heart or pulmonary artery and becoming stuck there. When this happens, the patient has to undergo a potentially dangerous procedure where the doctor attempts to retrieve the broken segment with a specially designed catheter. If you or someone you know has had problems with these vascular access ports manufactured by Horizon Medical Products, please contact us to discuss your legal options.
