10%... unbelievable... I ruptured my spleen and had to go to emergency surgery (after waiting an hour) and I thought I was bad...Originally posted by: TheBull
I just had my aorta repaired on 12/30/02. My dessection swelled to 6.5cm wide and about 6 cm long. Hell of a new year's gift for my wife and (at that time) 3-month old son. Most people don't live through the procedure. I was only given about a 10% chance of surviving the surgery. He must have had a massive dissection to die that quickly.

Weren't there any symptoms that build up prior to him collapsing ?
