Wow....
I was just almost just expecting him to recover. Expecting, not hoping. This is insane. Rest in peace coach. The world is definitely losing a great man, but the amount of good he did and the lessons he has instilled in countless players' lives is a net positive for our society. What a legacy that will live on through the lives he's touched. Just can't fathom having to type that this early.

So sad. My dad/ best friend just turned 57 and this scares the shite out of me. So depressing when someone doesn't get to enjoy their latter years.

So did he have a 2nd Heart Attack or was the 1st misdiagnosed?

One of my friends just heard that he passed away. Don't know who he heard it from but I don't think someone would make up that rumor
Damn, I thought for sure he’d pull through. He was a very nice guy. Always had time to talk baseball with anyone and was very modest. Will be missed.

What I've heard is, he had the heart attack. They tried to put stints in and they didn't take. So they did valve replacement surgery which is where his liver and kidneys started to fail, and it got better for a day then his liver and other organs started shutting down

just got a push notification on my phone from The Advocate announcing his passing as well
RIP Coach Robe

Only 57. Way too young.

He wasn’t misdiagnosed. He was treated by the most highly regarded heart doctors in this area.
As routine as these surgeries are, sometimes the severity of the condition doesn’t reveal itself until the interventions and recovery process are happening in real-time. I heard from a reliable source the other day that he actually coded twice. That’s how touch and go it was. People can recover from being that gravely ill, however.
Very sorry Coach Robe wasn’t able to pull through. RIP Coach Robe.

My child had open heart surgery in Boston, they couldn't do it in LA.
The surgical procedures are usually OK but much higher success rates at better hospitals. It's why most children have to go out of state for better care.
It's usually the recovery that is the challenge for most heart procedures. It's a critical time after surgery and a lot of things can go wrong during the recovery phase. A hospital like Lafayette is not going to have the experienced personnel like New Orleans will. New Orleans sees a lot more cases and is better equipped to intervene in these cases. I don't know anything about the Lafayette hospital but it must have been really serious to transfer him to New Orleans for another procedure.

He was also moved to Oshner's for an emergency heart transplant, they were hoping to get one since his heart was so damaged. Just went to shite from there. Once your organs quit....it's lights out. Had a friend last year drop dead while doing PT for Wildlife and Fisheries. Dude was a college athlete, tip top shape. Dropped dead on the spot running, they revived him, but once his kidneys and liver gave out, he was done. He was in his mid 30's.

We have performed nearly 950 heart transplants to date, and our successful outcomes reflect that experience. Our average 3-year survival rate for adult heart transplant patients is 86.3%, which is higher than the national average. Ochsner consistently ranks among the highest performing centers in the U.S. What’s more, we take on some of the most complex cases.

He was moved to Ochsner shortly after his first operation.

quote:I use to work at Ochsner’s surgical ICU, and currently work at a small, cardiac hospital in Lafayette (not the hospital Coach was initially at). The personnel at my current, small hospital is as competent, or even more so in certain situations that I can recall, than Ochsner (not to say Ochsner is less trained or competent, just that I would have no qualms sending my loved ones to my hospital if I had the choice). But certain procedures, like ECMO and heart transplants, cannot be done here in Lafayette. These procedures are typically last resort, and after the fact a coronary intervention or diagnostic test has been performed. There’s always postop risks immediately following surgery, and sometimes those risks happen so quickly that other organs suffer damage, and then it’s a domino effect. I do not know any specific details, but my prayers to Coach Robichaux and his family during this terrible time. Hug your loved ones every day.
