Theinespines3,
If you don't mind me asking, what is the diagnosis on your brother? I know of a couple reasons as to why he would get it done, but he's pretty young and can't see why this is their last resort. My father is a surgeon, so I've got some knowledge in the general area of the cardiovascular system. I'm going to medical school either this year or next, so if you want to know anything about what's going on...justPM and I'll do what I can. Take care brother and GOD BLESS! Our prayers will be with you!
