yeah, I don't know
an aorta can tear - can an aortic valve "tear"?
per my idiocy again, I'm thinking we are hoping it's the valve

Checked the scorecards for UMMC....pro-tip: you want to go to UAB or Vanderbilt, not UMMC.

Since it is at the top of left ventricle that pumps oxygenated blood to the body, imagine the regurgitation that would occur if only one cusp (leaflet) were to tear away? You are looking at the top of the valve.

If so, it's good they caught it and surgery for this is very effective. I hope he will still coach because he will need to keep his BP down.
Prayers, cause college football would really miss him as a whole. He's a treasure.

I would say yes, if there was no anoxic brain injury. That 15-20 minute window has not been fully explained, i.e., pulseless, thready pulse, some blood pressure albeit being low due to low ejection fraction from a torn valve
If potentially no brain activity, would they have even transported him to another hospital? I bit into those rumors too but thinking this way may think it is a rumor.

More likely scenario is that it is an aortic dissection.

Man, I hope this is true. I want to see the Pirate come out of this. LFG ML!

RIP coach. You will be missed by many around the globe.

Having gone through something similar his vale could have developed a leak due to a Harding of the seal which opens and closes with each heart beat. It gets progressively worse over time. Sounds like not enough blood flow and that caused him to pass out.

Brett McMurphy announced the passing of Mike Leach. It happened last night.

CBS just reported he died, rest in peace and swing your sword.

Just heard that our favorite pirate has a torn aortic valve. It’s extremely serious and dire. Keep praying for a miracle. I have no more info than that. SIAP but I am not searching through 1900 posts to find out.
It’s obvious that folks on here have no idea what they are talking about. Please stop posting rumors that are not true. It is obvious the Pirate had a medical condition worse then what you were posting.
