In 2017, Athens resident Juan Molina died at 58 after a cardiac catheterization procedure performed at Athens Heart Center.
Mr. Molina’s attorney, Steve Lowry, alleges that during the procedure, Dr. Agrawal put a catheter into the heart’s ventricle wall and injected a contrast or dye into the wall that led to perforation.
He alleges that this mistake caused complications that led to Mr. Molina’s death.
The jury awarded Mr. Molina’s estate $3.8 million for the value of life, $500,000 for pain and suffering, and $63,000 for medical and funeral expenses.
