There are two  categories of Fen-Phen deaths claims, those arising from aortic or mitral heart valve disease , and those arising from primary pulmonary hypertension. 

Death arising from aortic or mitral heart valve injuries.  We are accepting these cases nationwide. These cases are brought by the court-appointed legal representative of the deceased Pondimin or Redux user. This is usually a surviving spouse, adult child, or other next-of-kin.  

Examples of medical conditions that can develop as a consequence of aortic or mitral valve disease that can eventually lead to death include:

1. Complications from mitral or aortic heart valve surgery including: stroke, coma, death, infection of the surgical site, kidney failure with dialysis, blood clot requiring surgery, quadriplegia or paraplegia due to spinal injury during valve surgery,  HIV or Hepatitis C acquired through blood transfusion during valve surgery. 
2. Mitral or aortic heart valve repair or replacement surgery is needed but cannot be performed due to other health risks.
3. Severe pulmonary hypertension.
4. Sudden Cardiac Death and/or Cardiac Arrest, where an EKG taken at the time includes the arrhythmias known as: ventricular fibrillation and pulseless ventricular tachycardia. These conditions are treated with immediate defibrillation (electrical shocks to the heart) without which the patient will die within minutes, and may die despite these efforts.
5. Bacterial endocarditis (infection in the heart) which caused a stroke, peripheral embolus, coma or death.
6. Ejection fraction below 40% six months or more after aortic or mitral valve surgery.
7. Ejection fraction below 35% where valve surgery is needed but cannot be performed due to other health risks.
8. Blood clot originating in the heart that traveled elsewhere resulting in kidney damage, abdominal organ injury requiring surgery, or amputation of an arm, leg, hand or foot.
9. Have hahttps://websites.godaddy.com/contactd, or need, a heart transplant.

Fen-Phen lawsuits and Fen-Phen claims relate only to Pondimin and Redux.
