I have had two heart bypass surgeries and believe me....if there is

another way to go then definitely try it first before I went for the

open heart surgery. What do you have to lose trying the cyroabaltion

first? It's a much, much less invasive surgery. If it doesn't work

then you can always go for the more radical surgery, right?

I've had two open heart bypass surgeries. I'd try any other option

first before resorting to opening your chest up. It wouldn't be a

hard decision for me at all.
