February 28 - The case of STOn February 28, 1994, Odim performed his first surgical procedure in Winnipeg. The patient was a young girl named ST. (In this report, references to children other than the 12 who are the subject of this Inquest will be by initials.) In a closed procedure, Odim tied off a patent ductus arteriosus and repaired an aortic coarctation. The case proceeded smoothly and team members were encouraged by its success. It should be noted that in 1994 over 70 children underwent pediatric cardiac surgery at the HSC. Many of those cases passed without any significant incident. For that reason they are not discussed in this report. From this point on the report will discuss only those cases that give rise to comment.
