I believe it was regular old bypass surgery.

What is the realistic expectation for his return this season? (or ever) What was the surgery actually for? I know it was heart, but what was actually done?

In aortic valve and root replacement (composite aortic root replacement), your surgeon removes a section of your aorta and your aortic valve. The section of your aorta is replaced with an artificial tube (graft), and your aortic valve is replaced with a mechanical or biological valve. If you have a mechanical valve, you’ll need to take anticoagulant medications for life to prevent blood clots.
I think it was more complicated based on the descriptions.
