Hi, My husband goes to the Veterans.  They sent his files to the veterans hospital in
Cleveland where he has never been, in order to get another opinion from them, and thats
where they would do the operation.  They want him to have open heart surgery and I
want to see what you think.  He is sixty-six years old and has adult diabetes for which he
takes pills.  He also has atrial fibrulation.  They found out by accident about his needing
the surgery, he seldom has pains.  anyway, they say there are three main arterys and one
is clear, one is 75% block and the other one is 100% block.  They discovered this when
they did the heart catheter.  Do you think surgery is the
best way?   thanks
