Outcome Analysis

There is a significant difference between intramural hematoma and intimal tear. The fact that the patient became asymptomatic after hospitalization actually indicated the nature of the intramural hematoma. In other words, further surgery was unnecessary. Without surgery, there would have been no incision. Moreover, his procedure involved two incisions, not ordinary ones, but direct openings into major vessels. Once infection occurs, it is often beyond rescue. How could the vascular surgeons not have known this? One must dare to think boldly. Maintaining the appearance of busyness is very important for a person.
