Dear USMLErs,

On page 1-29 of Massachusetts Pocket Medicine, I came across this abbreviation "c/b".

Example:
Surgical treatment of aortic dissection:
proximal: all acute; chronic if c/b progression, AI or aneurysm
distal: if c/b progression, signif. branch artery involvement....

Can anyone tell me what it truely stands for? thanks a lot
