The estate of a man who received a heart transplant at University of Chicago Medical Center is suing after the transplant failed and the man died.
According to the complaint, after undergoing a heart transplant in 2005, Clyde Rogers was admitted to U of C for cardiac abrnormalities in September 2007. While waiting for a new heart, Rogers died in October 2007.
The complaint states that U of C was negligent when it, among other things, failed to properly treat signs and symptoms of chronic rejection of the transplanted heart and knew or should have known that the heart was "diseased or otherwise unsuitable for transplantation."
