Clinton Fear died last year, having contracted a bacterial infection through a machine that warms or cools patients used during his open heart surgery back in 2012.

Fear, who died at the age of 59, only started showing symptoms of the infection five years after surgery, in the form of night sweats.

One to two years later, he was diagnosed with Mycobacterium chimaera and began treatment for three years before dying in July 2022.

I think inserting stents is just as risky of bacteria infection as open surgery.   Rolleyes
