Children Suffer Rare Infection After Heart Surgery

Some of the parents of the dozen or so patients who suffered severe surgical site infections after cardiac procedures this summer are planning to sue Children's Hospital.

Equipment used to maintain the temperature of the patients at the New Orleans medical facility is suspected. The manufacturer of the Liva Nova Stockert 3t could also face legal action.

The CDC warned of potential contamination from such heater-cooler devices in October of last year.
