Have any of you or someone you know has gone through Angioplasty that resulted in death or blown arteries?

Question

I am researching cases for my father who went through a botched angioplasty. The Cardiologist blew his artery and killed my father. A different Cardiovascular Dr. performed a double by-pass and brought my father back to life. My father has a pending malpractice case against the Cardiologist who blew out his artery. I would like to know if there are Dr.s who will give expert testimony and provide depositions for my father.

Answer 1

Angioplasty is a procedure in which a balloon-tipped catheter (thin tube) is inserted into a diseased, narrowed blood vessel; inflation of the balloon stretches vessel, opening, and improving blood flow through it.
The procedure is also called - balloon angioplasty, coronary angioplasty, and percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA).
The news of your father’s recovery is pleasing. However, without names, it will be an immense task to identify people who have died following angioplasty, combined with proving that the operation was the cause of death.

what a person has to remember is when people sign consent form or procedures it always lists death and other things as a possible complication of the procedure...not quite sure what you mean by blew out the vessel....was it nicked and he bled out that way,also can it br proven that what hppened was the direct result of what the doctor did,...no matter what though if you have an attorney they should be able to find medical professionals that would qualify as an expert witness...good luck with this

in case you have been to gash your femoral artery with an incision on the floor of your leg, you may "bleed out" and die very with out postpone with out scientific interest. it is by way of vast blood flow and vascular stress on the proximal end of the femur. great arteries merely can not constrict adequate to limit blood loss the way capillaries can. stressful injuries greater suitable down the leg and for that reason greater suitable from the middle contain smaller vessels with decrease stress. And, those vessles have greater capacity to divert blood and limit flow to the injured section. In trauma, the femoral artery isn't so regularly decrease, inspite of limb loss. Limbs being blown off is poor adequate, however the therapy regularly includes taking much greater of the limb in the working room! dropping a foot or ankle to a land mine could advise dropping the completed decrease leg or greater in the working room. regularly trauma to limbs is a crushing or shredding or mixture injury, as antagonistic to literal severing. whilst it is the case, bleed out is way less of an instantaneous possibility. The surgeons will do away with the irreparable limb. some conflict and accident sufferers did not actually lose the completed limb in the accident, yet some greater of it had to be bumped off to ensure that them to stay. a number of the different solutions cite cauterization. it is yet another danger. Firearms, ballistics, etc. contain particularly some warmth. the warmth will cauterize a number of the flesh. Tourniquets are a therapy for lost limbs basically--a final motel. Any component of the limb downstream of the tourniquet might properly be broken or destroyed. In emergencies, a tourniquet will do. sometimes a huge injury to a limb inflicting extreme hemorrhage might properly be dealt with with a tourniquet, and the effect of the tourniquet might require amputation.
