[HSF] Aortic Dissection early after AVR with CABG

[David Harris]

I agree with Hal. It should be a relatively easy operation now. If I was the patient I would not sleep well until I had talked you into operating me again. If you explain the position well to the patient I am sure he will readily consent.
For interest, what was the pathology of the aortic valve? Was it bicuspid?
