Heart surgery (please read)?

my grandfather is 70 and has a BIGG heart problems and doctors are reccomending an immideate surgery!! although his fine now (well he says he feels ok), the doctors say that without a surgery he could live
years or days.. noebody knows :( and if he gets a surgery wel they sai "lets hope he makes it"
please give ur advise, should he get a surgery or not... please ;(

note: he patient is in the republic of georgia. and the surgery should take place there if decided.

How does he feel about this? You didn't reall say what the problem is, but surgery isn't as dangerous as it used to be. Of course there are always complications... A second opinion probably wouldn't be a bad idea, and make sure if he decides to have the surgery, to get a good cardiologist. Do a background check.

Get a second opinion from another doctor.
