After the surgery, the former soccer player said, &#8220;I underwent pre-planned preventive medical procedures with my medical team. The procedure was successful and I am well.

As part of a routine medical checkup, Roberto Carlos underwent tests after a blood clot was detected in one of his legs. After performing an MRI and supplementary tests, doctors discovered that a significant portion of his heart was not functioning properly and decided on immediate surgery.<\/p>\n<p>The surgery was originally scheduled to last about 40 minutes, but lasted almost three hours because complications arose during the surgery to implant a catheter to correct a heart problem. The athlete will continue his recovery outside the hospital.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.marca.com\/en\/football\/real-madrid\/2026\/01\/02\/6957d57d268e3eb5628b456d.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Roberto Carlos has been released from the hospital after undergoing heart surgery. &#8220;Thank you to the entire medical team for their care, care and treatment during this period,&#8221;
