Best Answer

LB Tedy Bruschi.

Tedy suffered a stroke in February, 2005 and was diagnosed as suffering from patent foramen ovale, a hole between the upper chambers of his heart. It is believed a clot found its way through the opening and made its way to his brain. The surgery repaired the hole and he returned to the Patriots in late 2005.

What is the difference between open heart surgery and bi pass surgery?

The term "open heart surgery" is really used incorrectly. We use it to mean a surgery where the chest is cut open to get the heart. A "bypass surgery" is where they cut open your chest and reroute the large blood vessels (arteries) on the outside of the heart. We do wrongfully call Bypass Surgery a type of Open Heart Surgery. But I would call a real "open heart surgery" where they cut open the chest and then cut open the heart to work inside the heart, like replace valves.
