According to details of the case, Ezequiel Chavez was born with a leak in his esophagus. This non-life-threatening condition required surgery for repair. The baby’s care was transferred to Rush in late 2010.
In 2011, Holterman performed a surgical procedure on the child and severed his pulmonary artery. The risky and novel procedure was careless, according to the family’s attorney. The doctor demonstrated a lack of oversight. Holterman left Rush shortly after that surgery.
Another doctor on the team that performed the surgery on Ezequiel is currently involved in a controversy overseas for his surgical techniques. Holterman could not be reached for comment regarding the case or the settlement.
