The former Brazilian footballer of Real Madrid, Roberto Carlos (Garça, Sao Paulo, 52 years old), underwent emergency surgery in his home country, on the heart, after previously undergoing medical examinations in a leg where he detected a small thrombus. Even after a more exhaustive examination, an resonance scan revealed that a very high percentage of his heart was not working and doctors had to operate more quickly, according to Diario AS.
The exjugador of Madrid, where he fought between 1996 and 2007 and of the club that is today ambassador, found vacancies in his country of origin. The operation, which involved inserting a catheter, took approximately three hours (instead of the estimated 40 minutes) due to complications that arose during the operation. According to AS, the exjugador is in danger, although he will remain inside for at least 48 hours under observation, to check if the evolution is positive.
