The patient presented to the emergency room with complaints of chest pain and a suspected aortic dissection. The emergency room physician ordered a CT Angiogram of the chest as well as stat call to the cardiothoracic surgeon on call. | |||||
Operation, Diagnostic, Or Treatment Procedure Rendered Causing The Injury | |||||

Diagnostic Code : | |||||
Misdiagnosis Made, If Any, Of Patient's Actual Condition | |||||
The cardiothoracic surgeon reviewed the CT Angiogram and decided to proceed with urgent surgery. Prior to the commencement of surgery, the specialist ordered another diagnostic study (TEE) which confirmed an abnormality in the aorta. As such, the surgeon proceeded to surgery and concluded there was no dissection, however, reported that he did in fact find a calcified ridge which the surgeon speculated was an old short dissection. The patient alleged an unnecessary surgery. The experts highly disputed this allegation. | |||||
Principal Injury Giving Rise To The Claim | |||||
Unnecessary of heart surgery. | |||||
Severity Of Injury | |||||
Temporary: Major - Burns, surgical material left, drug side effect, brain damage. Recovery delayed. |
