Hi all,

Long story short, my mother may require it due to a situation of being clogged up a lot in her arteries and heart failure.

She recently had a heart attack and has other risk factors, what really gets me is that she had all the symptoms and had been to see every specialist and was in constant communication with her medical team about the exact symptoms that lead to her heart attack.

An emergency room Dr was able to diagnose her issue within 15 minutes as heart failure and she is now meeting with a surgical team about the viability of the surgery.

Have any CPer's had this surgery? Who was your surgeon? Your experience with the process at the Foothills hospital, the recovery and everything else?

Thanks so much with any information regarding this. I am worried sick over this as it's my mom, I love her and I want her to come home soon. She's a young women at 64 and there is an entire section of life I want her to be able to experience going forward.
