"Difficult operation"
Richard Lugner had to undergo heart surgery
Richard Lugner has been operated on at Vienna General Hospital due to a ruptured heart valve. "It was a difficult operation, but thanks to the experienced cardiology team, everything went well and I'm fine again," said the master builder in a WhatsApp message on Wednesday.
"On Thursday, I was at the premiere of 'My Fair Lady' in Mörbisch. On Friday, I was taken to the general hospital first thing in the morning because my tear in a heart valve had enlarged," said the master builder.
The operation was then carried out immediately using the clip method via the vein, which is used to operate on the heart through the skin instead of cutting open the body.
"The team led by Professor Philipp Bartko then used a probe to place two clips on the torn heart valve via the vein and stabilize it," said Lugner.
