  Aidan of Lindisfarne - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Saint Aidan of Lindisfarne, the Apostle of Northumbria (?-651), is the founder and first bishop of the monastery on the island of Lindisfarne in England.
An Irishman, possibly born in Connacht, Aidan was a monk at the monastery on the island of Iona in Scotland.
Aidan was a member of the Irish branch of Christianity instead of the Roman branch, but his character and energy in missionary work won him the respect of Pope Honorius I and Felix of Dunwich.

 St. Aidan's History
Aidan was a monk of Iona, the island community in the Hebrides of Scotland, founded by Columba in 565 of the Common Era.
Aidan was present at that meeting, and confronted him, saying that he had been too severe with them, and should have given them "the milk of more easy doctrine" until they had been nourished by the Word of God and were capable of understanding the deeper teachings of God.
Aidan arrived in Northumbria in 635, and established his monastery on the island of Lindisfarne, which is a tidal island, separated from land during high tide, but connected when the tide was at ebb.

Aidan's open heart surgery went as planned and as part of the procedure, he had had a transplanted valve and conduit (tube) placed between two of his chambers to properly route the blood flow.

Aidan does have to go for more heart surgeries in the future and even another unrelated surgery (removal of his left testicle due to another condition he was born with, Cryptorchidism) this October.
