George B. had stomach surgery in 1972 at a large New York City hospital. More than 20 years later, he experienced several episodes of fainting, and eventually his doctors discovered a 14-centimeter catheter lodged in his heart. Despite numerous unsuccessful attempts to remove the catheter, George was required to undergo an open-heart procedure to remove the catheter from his body. Since George never had a prior surgery other than the one in 1972, Chiariello &Chiariello sued the original hospital and doctors involved in the 1972 surgery.
