Case Details

A 63 year-old patient at the Veterans’ Administration Hospital underwent a coronary artery bypass operation in which a vein was harvested from his right leg to use as an arterial graft. After the surgery, signs of unusual pain, pressure, and sensation were present. These symptoms were recorded by attending nurses, but apparently ignored by attending physicians. More than several days passed before a careful examination revealed probable signs of a compartment syndrome. When the veteran’s leg was opened, significant muscle death was seen with the resulting loss of muscle tissue in the lower leg.

Additional Notes

Successful negotiations with the Veterans Administration in Washington, D.C., resulted in a settlement.
