Prayers for a good outcome and a speedy recovery. I went through that in May 2020, and it's scary, but with today's technology, very common and has a very high percentage of success. I spent 13 days in the hospital, but that's because I had a lot done at the same time - heart valve, aortic root replacement, CABG ("cabbage" as mentioned by Rafe - but just a single one), and ablation to stop A-Fib.

Once released, it was a few weeks before I could walk very far - used a walker or rollator for a few weeks to help. Went through cardiac rehab in Sept/October and that went well - and now I feel really good. It certainly helped everything!

Hope all goes well for your friend.
