My husband passed away a few days ago. He had HBP, congenital heart malformations and CAD. He had heart surgery 3 years ago to replace his pulmonic valve and to resize his pulmonary artery which was more than twice the normal size; also, his LAD was bypassed. When he died, he was experiencing extreme reflux, profuse sweating, had blood coming out of his nose and mouth. No autopsy was performed. Do his symptoms point toward a rupture of the pulmonic artery or something else? I am a very private person and would like for this to remain confidential.
Hello, I have gone through your query. Thanks for using. I can understand your state of mind regarding cause of death of your husband. I need to know whether the cause of death was sudden. Because of rupture of pulmonary artery will be catastrophic and would lead to instant death. Bleeding from nose and mouth could be due to pulmonary edema of heart failure also. So it is difficult to judge Such cause. Rupture of artery might occur immediate post-operative resizing the vessel.my consolations Chat Doctor.
