[HSF] AAA and CABG

[Michael Firstenberg]

OK, I will ask the question that I am sure everyone else is thinking....

What were the indications for the AAA repair (size alone?  symptoms?  rate
of growth?)

Why was an emergent cath ordered?

What was his pre-operative cardiac evaluation (we discussed this recently
and there is some question as to how much pre-operative testing should be
performed prior to vascular surgery)


.... dont go asking questions that you do not want to know the answer to.
