[HSF] Aortic dissection

[Edward Bender]

64 year old male came to ER with resolved neck pain and numbness at  
right side of mouth.  He had undergone infra-renal abdominal aortic  
aneurysm repair with a tube graft (open, not endograft) 6 months  
previously at another hospital.  His family said the surgeon told him  
that he had other "problems" that they were going to watch for now.   
Attached is the CTA sequence.  After repair of the proximal portion of  
this dissection, what would the aortic specialists recommend for the  
downstream problems?
