Police are checking deaths after heart operations at Castle Hill Hospital near Hull. Some patients were harmed, but death certificates didn't say so.
A patient had a tough operation. Her family wasn't informed. The hospital made changes to improve care. Police are still investigating.
The hospital did a heart valve procedure called TAVI. Some patients died, more than usual. Reviews found problems with the care.
The TAVI operation is safer and quicker than open-heart surgery, but mistakes can happen. Mrs Readhead died after a mistake during her operation.
Families only found out about problems from the BBC. They feel upset and angry about not knowing. They were given different reasons for deaths.
Hospital staff were worried about the TAVI procedure. Reviews showed changes were needed, and some doctors said the service should stop.
A doctor spoke up about problems with a heart procedure called TAVI. He later left his job but believes he did the right thing.
The hospital will answer families' questions. They've made changes from reviews, but TAVI death rates are still higher than the UK average.
