A member asked:
What would cause an aortic dissection to happen after cabg surgery if the blood pressure is controlled by mediation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The wall of the aorta was most likely rusted/weakened by years of HBP&/or smoking &or high blood cholesterol. BP can swing widely during surgery as well. It is the pulse pressure (Systolic-diastolic) that makes it split.
