Friend had an aneurysm repaired in mid-1999. Not sure, but I think it was in ascending aorta. In fall 2009, she had descending aneurysm repaired.
Late Thursday night, she had 10-hour surgery on what I was told was the 1st site. Is in one of the top 5 cardiac hospitals in the U.S. Right now, she's in the critical care unit. Had bleeding issues immediately post-op, had one transfusion today (Sunday).
Just curious: Can a repaired aneurysm go and require a revision? Anyone ever hear of this happening? The information I was given may be wrong, and this may be another site that required surgery.
