    Default Vikings' Cameron Smith to undergo open-heart surgery after learning of issue through positive COVID-19 test

    Minnesota Vikings linebacker Cameron Smith will be forced to miss the 2020 season after finding out he needs open-heart surgery to address an issue revealed through a COVID-19 test.

    Smith announced Saturday he learned of a serious heart condition after testing positive for the coronavirus.

    “Earlier this week I found out I need open-heart surgery to fix a bicuspid aortic valve that I was born with. Although this will unfortunately end my 2020 season, it is really a blessing that we found this as my heart is severely enlarged and wouldn’t have lasted much longer. I found this out after I tested positive for COVID and had to have further testing done as protocol. The Lord works in mysterious ways, but I could really feel him on this one!” Smith wrote.

    I hope he gets it done robotically-assisted. Much quicker recovery, no need to crack open the breastbone, etc.

    First-hand? No. But I've seen the operations and been in many an OR for robotic surgeries and seen the drastic differences.

    I was a field service engineer for Intuitive Surgical, maker of the DaVinci robotic suites and Ion. I fixed them and did a lot of case observations to help troubleshoot issues with either user error or system issue, etc.

    I'm now a regional manager.
