Lots of stuff here. I would not term his recovery "unusual", though. We usually try to have CABG's out of bed the first day post-surgery, ambulating soon after (2nd day).

His pneumonia sure didn't help things.

His ARF was due to a lack of perfusion, and once perfusion was restored, so was renal function.

Really hard to guess about more without seeing a chart.

Also, I agree with the assessment that a dissection occured. Ruptured AA's usually result in a very rapid death. Even if they occur the hospital itself, much less the town a hospital is located in. Unless of course the tear is VERY small. Still...
