On the cases I presented last week, one developed an arterial sentinel  
bleeding episode during dressing change, which became torential the next  day.   
Arteriogram revealed a site at the proximal suture line,  STENTED with 
endovascular stent which stopped the bleeding.  TWO days later  the same thing happened 
to the distal suture line and again a stent stopped the  bleeding.  NO 
further bleeding, but groin is still a mess and not ready for  an extra anatomic 
bypass.  
 
What can we expect???
