We found out which the little the single we know needs to have an open heart operation since she was innate with usually dual heart valves. On tip of which they detected dual aneurysm in her heart as well as need to work upon her inside of the week. we know which all operation is risky, though if any the single can strew the little light upon this incident as well as presumably uncover me the little statistics, it would be most appreciated.

Any surgery which involves multiple procedures to be done simultaneously will certainly be more risky, but with an experienced surgeon this type of surgery has a very high success rate. Some things to consider, though, are any other health issues of the person who is to have surgery. Age is a big factor, as is a persons activity level prior to surgery (more active people tend to "bounce back" more quickly). Also, smokers tend to have much longer recoveries due to lung issues (such as difficulty being weaned off the vent). Diabetics tend to heal more slowly, esp those with poorly controlled diabetes. Obesity also plays a large role, due to complications with infection, incisions re-opening, and greater difficulty with increasing activity after surgery.
There are many other factors that play a role – this is just a short list – and the surgeon will surely go over potential complications with the patient. Please let your friend know that you are there to help, but the first month or two after surgery is often hard on these patients as they struggle to recover. She may be reluctant to ask for help, but just doing simple things will be greatly appreciated. Make sure she has plenty of time to rest, and encourage her to eat, even if it is only a little – open heart patients tend to have very poor appetites after surgery!!
