@the.legal.np: A 13-year-old girl was reportedly told she was dying after heart surgery. Another hospital allegedly discovered the real problem: her new heart valve had been implanted upside down. The family is now seeking $17 million in damages. Allegations only—litigation remains pending. SOURCE Stokes v. Oregon Health & Science University, Multnomah County Circuit Court (2026). Law & Crime, May 2026. #medicalstudent #cardiacsurgery #heartsurgery #pediatrics #pediatrician

How many valve replacement surgeries a year does that hospital/surgeon do?

I hope those parents get enough money to not only cover all their bills but enough to keep that girl comfortable for life

I'm not even a surgeon but like... If I plug my phone into an outlet and it doesn't charge I'm checking the cord. then I'm checking the outlet. THEN I am considering replacing my phone. I feel like this could be applied to reviewing an artificial heart valve post surgery 🫠

So crazy, I’m a PCICU RN and after a couple days on ECMO and no improvement what about a cardiac cath? Go back to the OR for exploratory sx? How can they not see the valve wasn’t functioning?

I am shocked that an echo would not have caught this error

Was this recently? I remember a few cases a decade or so ago with improperly built LVADs, artificial hearts, and such.

Did the patient recover fully? Or did she have deficits?

Measure twice, cut once. Doesn't always need to apply to cutting.

Maybe there’s details we don’t have but I would think the heart would function (electrical) but not properly (mechanical). Absolutely egregious error!

An echo should have been done intra-op, Transesophageal If it was done there is no way they would have not seen the incompetent valve right then and then fixed it. That is the standard of care.
