Now Lundqvist announces that the procedure has been carried out and that everything has gone well.
The operation lasted five hours.
“The surgery went well. It took about five hours to get everything in order. I really appreciate the amazing care staff here at the Cleveland Clinic. The last few days have been pretty crazy, but I feel like I’m in very good hands. Every day is a step in the right direction “, write on Instagram.
Henrik Lundqvist left the New York Rangers for the Washington Capitals before the season, but the goalkeeper canceled the next season after the discovery of the heart defect.
It can threaten your career
The mistake could threaten Lundqvist’s continued hockey career.
– I think the probability of returning to an elite sports career is very small after such a large operation. It takes a long time to rehab and regain your strength and in your early 40s I think the probability of returning to an elite sports career is small, Stefan James, chief physician and professor of cardiology at Uppsala University, told him formerly SR.
