Interesting: "In a pre-op conference, Coleman's cardiologist told him there was a 95 percent chance he'd be able to fix it, allowing Coleman to return to football. If that didn't work, he'd have to insert a mechanical valve, and that would mean the end of all sports." This notion that a mechanical valve means no more activity is silly. So many people on here are athletes with mechanical valves.

That being said, what a beautiful outcome for this young man and all best wishes to him.
 
Ah, yes, excellent point, Agian! I was thinking more about other sports like running or swimming or such. I should have been more clear--though my cardiologist did suggest taking up American football post-surgery (his way of stressing I could live life and be adventurous, I figure).
