My husband experienced an aortic dissection on the arch with rupture above the aortic valve. He was bleeding into his chest cavity and experienced cardiac tamponade. He also had multiple pulmonary embolisms as well as several clots to his brain. Miracuously, he survived and is fully functional today, 3 years after the event! We owe it all to Dr. Youseff, Dr Hernandez, Dr.Puls and countless others on their team. The Cardiac Intensive Care staff were all very efficient and medically proficient. My husband is strong and was quite a handful at first during the days of encephalopathy following bypass. They worked together as a team to keep him on the bed and all of the lines and tubes intact. No small feat on top of all the business of running a busy ICU! As a former ICU nurse, Im impressed with all of them! Cant thank you enough for all that you do!!! These photos were taken the day after he was released from the hospital. We are so grateful to all of you.
