The coroner's concerns
1. leak not identified on CT scans
“Following a thorough investigation, LHCH recognised that the leak was not identified on the CT scans in 2019 and 2020 because 3D reconstruction was not used when they were reported. LHCH have amended their reporting protocol for aortic stent surveillance accordingly and requested that Medica, who continue to report such scans for LHCH, do the same. However, as of date of the inquest, LHCH had received no response from Medica and could not assure me that Medica are using 3D reconstruction to report”
