My brother has this.. he was stable..all of a sudden he had chest pain, found 3 99 % blockages , had open heart surgery. Needed 3 units of blood, was quite ecchymotic at the leg vein sites, . Went home after 8 days. Home a few days and had extreme weakness, doc treated him with a bag of salty chips for ‘dehydration’. A few days later he couldn’t stand up, went to hospital with the ambulance. He was found to have fluid around his heart and lungs ,no mention of this being congestive failure .Chest tubes placed to drain the blood tinged fluid.. Very immobile, threw 3 clots, both legs and one in arm . Swollen feet... Heparin started with chest tubes in place with plan to watch closely in telemetry unit and turn heparin off if any sign of blood in the chest tubes. After he had the third clot they placed a clot catcher inside abdomen artery/vein. He is in a holding pattern with the heparin for 2 days to see if he can stop throwing clots. In my opinion there isn’t any mild state, cause apparently if you need an operation, a big intervention, a car accident, a broken bone ,you will all of a sudden go downhill quite fast. It’s Jan 1 and he is still in the hospital 4 weeks post cabg. He is in critical condition. He is 6 ft 150 lb …was doing a home addition when he developed the chest pain, waited 4 weeks to do heart surg, question should this myleofibrosis be treated rather than wait ?,for what? A devastating event,that the myleofibrosis can kill you instead? Question is…….why didn’t they do stents instead of open heart?Why didn’t they treat the mild myleofibrosis pre op to give him more of a chance in the waiting time or is treatment contraindicated if needing surgery.
