Coroner describes death of Declan Keaveney as a ‘troubling case’ and returns narrative verdict
“I know Declan enjoyed his life despite a lot of pain over the years but I grieve for the life he had to come,” said Ms Vining. She said she hoped protocols are reviewed and lessons learned from her brother’s death.She was concerned when he complained of pain and swelling to his knee three days after surgery because of his history of Deep Vein Thrombosis which progressed to a Pulmonary Embolism .
She was surprised to hear he was on aspirin, considering his previous history of PE, as anticoagulation injections are used in the UK where she worked in a clinic that provided DVT diagnostic and treatment services. Professor Stephen Kearns told the coroner he had been treating Mr Keaveney for arthritis since 2007. He previously had “resurfacing” hip surgeries to his right and left side in 2007 and 2008 but in 2021 he experienced significant pain in his right hip, thigh and knee and shortening of his right leg. Professor Kearns said before surgery he went through all the risks with Mr Keaveney including the risk of DVT, pulmonary embolus and other potential orthopaedic complications.
Professor Kerns told Roger Murray, solicitor for the Keaveney family, that there was no evidence of DVT.The inquest was told that since January 22nd the hospital does provide information to patients alerting them to signs and symptoms of DVT.
