Patient died during surgery, doctor in Durrës reacts: 54-year-old suffered

Here is the reaction of doctor Ilir Shani, who performed the operation on the 54-year-old woman who passed away in a private hospital in Durrës. 

On social media, the doctor writes that patient V.XH underwent gastric bypass surgery on 20.05.2025 and was then transferred to the ward in good condition.

According to him, the next day the patient suffered a sudden cardiac arrest, the result of a massive acute heart attack, and died within minutes.

Doctor's reaction: 

Following the serious incident that occurred two days ago on the premises of our hospital, I feel it is my moral and professional duty to provide a clarification on our position as a healthcare institution and my own personally as the responsible physician.

First, on behalf of the medical staff and on my own behalf, I express my most sincere family condolences to the family of the late V.XH. This loss is deeply painful for all of us, as the deceased was not only a patient, but also a close acquaintance of ours for whom we had special respect. We share the pain and stand by the family in this difficult moment.

As the responsible physician, I feel obligated to clarify the circumstances of this sad event, guided by the principle of transparency towards family members and citizens.

Patient V.XH underwent gastric bypass surgery on 20.05.2025. The operation was completed normally and the patient was transferred to the ward in good condition. During the following hours, her condition was continuously monitored and the vital parameters were within the normal range. The patient was active, moving, communicating, and had no concerns.

Unfortunately, in the early hours of the 21st, the patient suffered a sudden cardiac arrest, the result of a massive acute infarction, and passed away within minutes. Although medical assistance was provided immediately, the stroke proved fatal and efforts to bring her back to life were unsuccessful.
On behalf of myself and all the staff who were involved in the patient's treatment, I express my deepest regret for this loss. We understand and feel the pain of the family and are ready to offer full cooperation to the relevant authorities, which will shed light on every aspect of this event.

With respect and humility before the family's pain,
Ilir Shani
