Can Hole In The Hissing Artery To The Heart Cause Death If It Gets Bigger?
My friend has a pin size hole in hissing artery to the heart. He was told if it gets bigger he will bleed to death - no blood left in the heart. Is this true, can it be fixed & how long is his lifespan with this condition. Can he prevent it from getting bigger? Please help?

Dear sir
If there is any hole in the chambers of the heart it needs to be corrected immediately because it can lead to so many complications.
Secondly hole causes mixing of oxeygenated and deoxeygenated blood causing decreased oxygen supplies to the tissues causing hypoxia and cause brain inactivity.
so it is better to prevent it rather than facing its concequences.
There are so many options like surgeries can be done.
Thanks
