I guess the surgery for the aortic tear did not go well. This procedure was talked about at length on NPR this evening.
Once an aorta has ruptured you've got single digit minutes to fix it, otherwise you're brain dead. His started to tear at the meeting. Once you've gone symptomatic and have pain... the clock is ticking very quickly. In some cases the aorta wall lining will separate a bit, but still remain, umm, waterproof... and you;ve got time to get to the ER and surgery.
