Case Details
A 47-year-old man suffered irreversible brain damage and entered a persistent vegetative state after heart bypass surgery. A leaking bypass graft caused blood to pool in his chest, leading to decreased blood pressure and labored breathing. Medical professionals failed to recognize the problem, and the pressure on his heart caused it to stop, resulting in oxygen deprivation.
