In most surgeons hands in a high volume center, if your heart function is normal, it is a routine procedure.
It is my belief that all surgeries are serious. Preparing well by staying connected to your supports, asking questions and taking good care of yourself - mentally, physically and spiritually will help bring out positive outcomes.
