It appears that a Tennessee doctor is facing similar allegations of
implanting unnecessary stents in patients as the current
lawsuits filed in Maryland against Dr. Mark Midei and
St. Joseph Medical Center. The Department of Justice (DOJ) is looking at Dr. Elie Korban of the Heart and Vascular Center of West Tennessee.
In later 2009, 369 patients of Dr. Mark Midei were notified by letter that they may have receive unneeded stent implants while at St. Joseph Medical Center. This latest allegation in Tennessee follows a recent allegation in Pittsburgh, PA, where it is believed that
doctors implanted unnecessary stents.
During the first part of 2010, another 169 patients of Dr. Mark Midei were notified of a possible unnecessary stent implantation. All patients were notified they should seek review by their
cardiologists of their current heart conditions.

Stents are often used by cardiologist to open blocked arteries with the use of a mesh tube. The medical field typically recognizes a blockage of at least 70% as a medically necessary situation for use of a stent. Yet we have found in our clients that some blockages were only 10% to 50%.

About 600,000 angioplasty procedures, which almost always involve placement of a tiny metal tube called a stent, are done in the U.S. each year. Roughly 70% of these procedures are performed on patients suffering symptoms of a heart attack and aren't medically controversial. But the remainder are done on stable patients who are suffering mild symptoms or no symptoms at all. Of those, 50% are deemed appropriate, 38% uncertain and 12% inappropriate, the report says."
