    It's a pretty simple and common procedure, so shouldn't affect him long term (assuming they are able to close the extra pathway). I'm guessing he has WPW (same as Lamarcus Aldridge had). The procedure itself is not invasive at all. They go in through your leg, burn or freeze (depending on how close to the main pathway) the extra pathway shut, you are ready to resume activities 100% after 3-4 days. They just keep you out 6-8 weeks for safety purposes to monitor your heart and make sure the procedure was successful (and the extra heart pathway is shut).

    As the father of a boy who's heart procedure failed by going through the leg.

    It is never simple and common.

    Exactly this. Ablation success rates are excellent. He will be a new man. #ablationcures
