There is risk to everything. Most importantly her nephrologist and cardiologist should work closely together to minimize risks.
Risk is that she will probably be started on dialysis pre or both heart surgery. But she needs the surgery
Yes, but a cardiac doctor will know how to treat both of the problems.
Yes
