A Montgomery County jury came back with a defense verdict in favor of two doctors who were facing a wrongful death lawsuit when a 54-year-old man died after one of the doctors canceled a surgery to fix the man’s descending aortic dissection — a condition similar to an aneurysm.
The estate of James F. Miller Jr. was seeking $2 million in wrongful death and survivor damages against Miller’s cardiologist, Henry S. Mayer, and the treating cardiologist at the emergency room of Bryn Mawr Hospital, Robert S. Boova. Boova’s practice, Bryn Mawr Cardiothoracic Surgery, was also named as a defendant.
