I wanted to know what the actual procedure was during the operation. I was told it could take between 3-7 hours, and that they have to cut your chest and then get through the ribs somehow, and then stitch in the new heart. Can anyone help out with more details, and names of intruments used, etc? Any comments from actual doctors would be especially great! How do they replace the heart without the patient dying? Thanks!!!
