What is a Cardiac Catheterization?
Cardiac catheterization is a procedure that is performed to examine the blood flow to the heart. A thin tube called a catheter will be inserted into a patient's artery or vein. This procedure is very intricate and should be performed with great care and caution. If a mistake is made during the process, the results could be traumatic.
While medical professionals such as those trained in this specific procedure make mistakes, they should be and can be held accountable. Medical mistakes that result in harm to a patient may be caused by several factors, such as:
- Improper or inadequate training
- Fatigue or distraction
- Shaky hands caused by too much caffeine or lack of food
No matter what the reason, when an adult or child is harmed during a surgical procedure, they should be able to seek compensation for their damages. At Pfaff & Gill, Ltd., we provide a way for injured patients to seek damages. We serve as patient advocates and fight aggressively to ensure they receive the full amount of compensation possible.
