Health chiefs announce review into deaths of up to 250 heart patients The deaths of 200 to 250 patients who died following heart surgery at a scandal-hit NHS trust are to be reviewed, it has been announced.
All the patients were treated in the cardiac unit at St George's University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust in Tooting, south-west London.
The hospital suspended complex heart operations last year after a leaked report suggested poor relationships between surgeons were risking patient safety.
There had been a years-long 'toxic' feud between staff which escalated to the point one surgeon was sent a dead animal in the post. The Daily Mail
