  • Pedro Cavadas surgery: Soro: 'I'm going to fight again with a bionic leg'

The Valencia bullfighter Vicente Ruiz El Soro has been re-admitted to the ICU of the Clinical Hospital of Valencia due to a severe sepsis that has caused kidney failure and for which he has required dialysis treatment, as reported by his partner, Eva Rogel.

The deft of Foios (Valencia), 57, had been discharged six days ago , after remaining another five admitted to this same hospital, for angina pectoris, which is why he underwent a catheterization and received drug treatment .

"Since he was discharged he has barely eaten, he spent the whole day sleeping, he was breathing badly, he didn't feel like anything, it wasn't him, really," explains Rogel visibly worried.

"Suddenly his knee became very inflamed - the same one in which he has suffered more than 30 operations and in which Dr. Pedro Cavadas placed a bionic prosthesis on him - and they took out fluid. They think it is a sepsis and they are treating of looking for the focus, "he says.

The Soro , regrets his partner, "is wrong, had even a few days disoriented. The doctors have placed a probe but have realized that the kidneys do not work, and that is why they have taken it to dialysis. They have told us that the picture is worrisome . "

In April 2018, El Soro suffered a myocardial infarction while receiving a tribute in Roquetas de Mar (Almería) and after this episode a stent was placed in the coronary artery and he took specific medication.

His life has a long medical history, although the injury that marked his professional career was the one he suffered in April 1994 in Benidorm (Alicante), in his moment of professional fullness, when he broke his left knee ligaments that separated him from The wheels.

In 2013, and after 34 leg interventions, surgeon Pedro Cavadas implanted a bionic titanium leg, which allowed him to fulfill his dream of reappearing in the ring after 24 years retired.

This same prosthesis, however, became infected last summer and even caused fear for the integrity of the limb, which could finally be maintained after surgery, also by Dr. Cavadas.
