I went to see one of the vascular surgeons recently, relative to technical errors that were made during vascular surgery at Chi St. Luke's Baylor. I had my CT scan that they downloaded. He (the Doctor) recommended open thrombectomy on my right and left femoral arteries, followed by patching. I got a second opinion from a vascular surgeon at UT because the CT scan did not reflect serious blockage in right leg. The vascular surgeon said there was no reason at all for surgery on my right femoral artery. He (Dr. .......) very clearly tried to schedule me for a risky and completely unnecessary surgery. I am truly astonished at such a bold move that clearly would be malpractice. I urge anyone looking at getting vascular surgery to be very cautious, and understand the risks. At Chi St. Luke's Baylor I had an carotid endartectomy that had a serious technical error, resulting in a completely thrombosed left carotid system. There is no fix, and I am lucky that I am alive and not paralyzed yet. Additionally, they stented my aorta and a large thrombus broke apart, and resulted in major complications with my left femoral artery. I will be contacting the administrator of the vascular surgery department to ensure that they are aware of what happened.
