That is why I was asking!  In fact, there was a transection, but unfortunately, the stent migrated.  He isn't doing very well, to say the least.

I had looked at the ppt on my blackberry, now I have looked at it on my big  
computer.    I definitely would NOT proceed with a stent at this  point, for I 
could make a case that this is not an aortic  transection.    This particular 
cut leaves a lot to be desired  and raises more questions than it answers.    
Need better cuts or  an aortogram.    

BE CAREFUL.
