Font size

"On the Berlin Heart, the extracorporeal artificial heart, a choice that would have allowed Domenico to be in the best possible conditions for a retransplant, the judge's experts have fully accepted what was anticipated in June by our consultants". This is what is underlined by the lawyer Francesco Petruzzi, lawyer for the family of little Domenico Caliendo, the child who died on February 22nd after a failed heart transplant.

The document in question, dated 7 June 2026, drawn up by consultants from the Caliendo-Mercolino family, contains a comparative evaluation between ECMO and Berlin Heart Excor as an ideal preparatory tool to allow the patient to undergo a new heart transplant. The opinion bears the signature of doctor Luca Scognamiglio (specialist in Forensic Medicine), professor Gianni D. Angelini (Emeritus British Heart Foundation professor of Cardiac Surgery Consultant Cardiac Surgeon) and doctor Maria D'Amico (specialist of Anesthesia and Resuscitation).

"In our medico-legal and technical-scientific opinion, the only one until the day before yesterday to have analyzed that solution - explains Petruzzi - we also read that the omissions of the heart surgeon Guido Oppido cannot be classified in any of the gradations of negligent error".
