The estate of a woman is suing a Kanawha County doctor for medical malpractice after she needed to have her leg amputated following a heart catheterization. A review of the case found that the doctor did not act in a timely manner when complications arose after the surgery.

According to the suit, Rosa Griffith underwent a left heart catheterization via the right groin artery June 13, 2005. During the procedure, she began to exhibit symptoms including inadequate perfusion after the procedure.

On June 21, 2005, Griffith suffered an amputation of her right leg, above her right knee.

The woman died in 2007 and her estate is pursuing the case for unspecified damages. They are asking for compensation for the loss of her leg.
