The procedure is expected to take approximately 2-2.5 hours. This will not be open-heart surgery. Therefore, no general anesthesia will be given to Guru Maharaja. He will be given local anesthesia, will be able to watch and speak to the doctors, and will be hearing Srila Prabhupada chanting throughout the whole time. Angioplasty is less invasive and, in Guru Maharaja’s case, the doctors performing the procedure have assured us it will yield the same results as bypass surgery, with less recovery and rehabilitation time.
