BRET MICHAELS Recuperating At Home After Heart Surgery
January 26, 2011According to People.com, POISON frontman Bret Michaels was released from St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center in Phoenix, Arizona earlier today after he underwent successful surgery two days earlier (January 24) to repair a hole in his heart — a condition he's had since birth, but only recently discovered. Michaels headed home, where he's surrounded by loved ones as he heals, including his new fiancée Kristi Gibson.
According to Reuters, Monday's procedure involved doctors inserting a catheter into Michaels' groin and, aided by cameras, guiding a device into the heart to close the hole.
Hospital officials told Reuters the device is designed to stop abnormal blood flow between the two chambers of the heart.
