Rene Knott Illness/Health/Surgery
During the SEC Championship in Atlanta in December 2013, Knott went to the emergency room where he found out that he had blood clots. At the time, he was covering the Championship alongside Tony Chambers photojournalist when Tony noticed that Knott had difficulty in getting across the hallway. Even so, he said that was okay and reluctantly went to the hospital. The clot in his lungs made the right side of his heart broaden leading to pulmonary hypertension.
Dr. Murali Chakinala, a pulmonary specialist from Washington University, informed him that his heart was failing. Thus, he booked a flight to San Diego where he underwent PTE surgery(Pulmonary Thromboendarterectomy surgery). During the surgery, his body was drained of blood and the clots were removed while he was hooked up to a heart-lung machine.
Knott said that his biggest fear going onto the surgery was whether or not he would survive. He said that her received from the viewers was detrimental to his recovery. Before the problem was identified, he was using about 20 percent of his lung capacity which made it hard for him to use the treadmill. Knott is now healthy and according to Dr. Chakinala, he will deliver sports cats for a long time.
