Arnie's Heart

I have scar tissue on my heart and am told the surgery to remove it will kill me. I'm 77 and have had triple bypass surgery. In a year I couldn't breath and was told I have scar tissue on my lungs. It was removed with bilateral thorasic surgery. I also formed scar tissue on my corritid artery which was removed. none of it has returned after 5 years. What are my chances on removing the scar tissue on my heart? Can you help?

I also have a large scar tissue in my heart due to a massive heart attack, but as far as I understand if they remove it , which indeed can be very danger, I do not see what benefit I can get. In fact no one mention that possibility  to me.

Why do you think that you will be better if it is removed?
What your symptoms are?
