Our team of attorneys are now investigating claims and prepared to file Mirena lawsuitsinvolving the intrauterine contraceptive device Mirena®. Manufactured by Bayer Healthcare Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Mirena is an IUD device [intrauterine device] that must be inserted by a trained health care provider and is intended to provide contraceptive protection for up to five years. Some women have experienced serious adverse side-effects and potentially life-threatening complications following the implantation of theMirena device, including perforation of or imbedment in the uterus.
Complications from Mirena IUD Device
A very uncommon complication is gas embolism. This can happen in the very unusual event of a blood vessel’s being damaged, without this being recognized by the surgeon, while carbon dioxide is flowing in. It is possible, in this eventuality, that an excessive amount of gas may enter the bloodstream. This gas travels in the blood to the heart where it bubbles up and forms a kind of “water-lock,” causing a blockage with potentially fatal results. This is an extremely rare complication and should never happen if your surgeon makes sure that the tip of the Veress needle is moving freely in the peritoneal cavity after it is inserted, or, if the Hasson cannula is used, that it has been correctly placed under direct observation.
