Surgery Update 5

12:35 - Emma was removed from bypass, and her heart started back up without incident. Unfortunately, they found there was still too much pressure on the right ventricle, so she needs to go back on bypass. The echo showed a buildup of excess muscle right below the pulmonary valve, which they are now going to try to remove to help normalize the pressure. If that doesn't work, they will have to cut through the valve. If they cut the valve we will need to come back for a valve repacement in about 5 years.
