The transesophageal echo looked fine, so they proceeded to open his chest up. They've gotten through the breastbone and are currently sorting through the vessels, tissues, and other 'biological stuff' that this electronics guy has no clue about. They'll be going through everything they can see and make sure all is in the right place, and do as much work as possible before putting him on the bypass machine. That's a big event where his blood is routed into a machine that will oxygenate his blood for him (they've already put a tube in to breathe for him), then his heart will be stopped so the surgeons can work on it while it's still and dry (no blood). Nothing to worry about there.
Right.
