Bret Michaels had a heart surgery Monday to close a hole in his heart. Officials at a Phoenix hospital say rocker Bret’s surgery was successful.
A surgical team at St. Joseph’s Hospital and Medical Center in Phoenix performed the procedure Monday. A spokeswoman for the hospital says Michaels is recuperating and remains in the hospital’s intensive care unit for observation.
Doctors discovered the hole in Michaels’ heart back in April when he was treated for a brain hemorrhage.
Doctors inserted a catheter into a vein in Michaels’ groin with a closure device, and tiny cameras assisted doctors as they operated to close the hole. The closure device will remain in the rocker’s heart permanently to stop abnormal blood flow between two chambers of his heart, which is thought to have caused the warning stoke he suffered last year.
Get well soon Bret!
Bret has just recently proposed his longtime partner of 16 years, Kristi Gibson; the couple has two daughters together.
