Cardiovascular Surgery Injury in Arizona

Cardiovascular surgery is a specialized field of medicine that requires a great deal of knowledge, skill, and hands-on experience. Most cardiovascular and thoracic surgeons are quite competent and some are highly experienced and accredited professionals who save lives virtually every day. Unfortunately, even the most talented surgeon can make a mistake.  Just as a driver with a great driving record can take his or her eye off the road and cause a terrible accident, an otherwise good surgeon can make a mistake that results in tragedy.  If you or someone you love has suffered injury because of a suspected mistake during cardiovascular surgery in a Phoenix medical facility, please contact surgical malpractice lawyer David H. Cluff for a free initial case review. Mr. Cluff can talk to you about your case and concerns to determine how he can assist you in your time of need.

About Cardiovascular Surgery and Medical Malpractice

Defects or injuries of the heart and blood vessels may be treated by cardiovascular surgery, by way of pacemaker insertion, arterial embolectomies, grafting procedures, coronary bypass, arterial aneurysmectomies, filter insertions, endarterectomies and stent insertions. None of these are simple surgeries, and all involve inherent risk to the patient. However, if a surgeon, anesthesiologist or any other medical professional makes a needless or careless mistake or otherwise provides a substandard level of care, this may be grounds for a medical malpractice or hospital negligence claim due to surgical error.

A person who has sustained cardiovascular surgery injury may suffer from any of a number of issues: infection, pacemaker malfunction, stroke, heart attack, renal failure, paralysis, brain damage or even death.
