- Expert analysis: An operation to save the risks of heart attack
Don Juan Carlos evolves "satisfactorily". The father of the King has spent his first night in the intensive care unit (ICU) after this Saturday he underwent an open heart operation in which doctors have implanted three bypasses. "He has a good mood, has risen and started eating food," explained Dr. Lucía Alonso, managing director of Quirón hospitals in Madrid, in a new brief medical part.
Don Juan Carlos must remain in the intensive care unit for postoperative control waiting to be able to move to the plant in the next few hours, in case there are no complications. "He is awake, with a normal neurological situation, breathing spontaneously without ventilatory support and with minimal vasoactive support," said Dr. Alonso. The doctors will not disseminate more information about their state of health until Monday at 12 noon.
The one who was King of Spain for four decades had to undergo an open heart operation scheduled since last June, after a medical review in which doctors scheduled this cardiac surgery for the end of August. The operation lasted for about five hours and was described as "successful" and "without incident" by the medical team, at the head of which was the prestigious doctor Alberto Forteza Gil, head of the Cardiac Surgery service of the Quirón de Pozuelo University Hospital ( Madrid) and Cardiovascular Surgery at Puerta de Hierro Hospital.
