Cardio Dr. Today

This Dr. told us what would take place during surgery;opening up & stopping the heart, bringing the tempature down so to a safe tempature. They have a small window. There are many risks involved with this procedure. He would not put a percentage on it but said it was less then the anuerysm surgery. Here's the kicker.... he has never done this for a brain anuerysm. He said he feels comfortable in doing it and has talked to his mentor and several other Dr.'s and will do it but just like Ryan he knows there are other Dr.'s that are more capable of this. We will hold off rest of the tests until next Thurs. after we meet with the Dr,. in St. Louis.
