St. Joseph Medical Center in Towson, facing lawsuits and a pair of federal investigations related to its cardiac care business, has informed another 169 heart patients that they received expensive and potentially dangerous treatments they might not have needed.
The additional cases, announced Tuesday, bring to 538 the number of patients notified by St. Joseph that coronary stent implants they received at the hospital might have been unnecessary. Hospital officials also said an internal review of patient records is continuing, and that more questionable procedures could be uncovered.
