Helpful Reviews

My mother was having chest pain, went to her regular Dr. & he sent her to hospital on ambulance. at hospital Dr Giraldo performed a cardiac catherization for clogged artery but during the procedure her artery ruptured & bleeding leading to an emergency open heart surgery. The surgeon called for surgery explained to us that he had also found a hole in my mother's heart after repairing the damaged artery, heart kept bleeding, he knew something else was wrong. That's when he found the hole & said the catheter that ruptured her artery was also responsible for the hole in her heart. My mother was on life support for like 10 days, then on a feeding tube because she couldnt eat through her mouth from damaged caused by entubation. My mother passed to be with the Lord due to complications resulting from this emergency surgery. I don't know if it was human error or not, but I have researched it & everything I've read states it's very rare that this happens. Like 0.5 to 1%. Our whole family still mourns our mother's passing. It's been a little over a year & it still feels as if we are never going to get passed it. Would not recommend Dr. Giraldo nor Heart Hospital in McAllen for that matter.
