Subject: [HSF] CABG with sub-acute Type B


Without going into too much of the work-up details (much done at an  
outside hospital) -

I am current caring for a 60'ish female who was diagnosed with a type  
B aortic dissection (distal subclavian to about mid-thoracic aorta,  
normal size aorta) about a month ago who also as pretty severe multi- 
vessel CABG (probably needs 4-5 grafts) which I am planning on  
tackling soon.

Any thoughts? advice? do's don't?


oh, by the way - we just emergently dilated her 4mm post-intubation  
tracheal stricture.
