Question: He has two holes in his heart, since birth, He's having an operation, what will this consist of!?
My Friend was born with two holes in his heart!. He's now 14 and is awaiting surgery

He is a really close friend of mine, and I'm interested in what the surgery will involve, what it will do, how long it'll take for him to recover, how high risk it is, etc etc!.

Thank you for your time and answers

Answers:
withoug knowing whether the holes are between his atria or his ventricles it is hard to say!. If he is having open heart surgery it is likely to be dome through the breastbone (sternotomy), he is likely to neeed one day in ITU and then back to the main cardiac ward!. Initial recovery will be 5- 7 days in hospital with a further period of up to 3 months for his breastbone to heal and for him to feel back to his normal sense!. Sports are normally restricted during this period but it is dependant on institutional preferance!.
He may also be quite moody after the surgery related to drugs and pain etc!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
