The model haley beeber underwent heart surgery after suffering a stroke last month.
Through a video on the social network youtuberevealed he had a patent foramen ovale procedure to repair a hole in the chambers of his heart.
“It went very well…I’m recovering very well, very quickly,” he shared in the clip, titled “Telling my story.”
She said that last March she was rushed to a hospital in the Palm Springs, California area with symptoms of a stroke and at that time it was discovered that she had a blood clot that was traveling to her brain and causing a Transient ischemic attack (AIT).
There, doctors couldn’t find the reason the clot was reaching his brain, so he was taken to UCLA Medical Center, where they ran more in-depth tests and found what he was suffering from.
“It usually closes by itself at birth (foramen ovale),” explained singer Justin Bieber’s wife.
“They discovered that it had a grade five (of the opening), which is the highest grade you can have. Mine was pretty big. What usually happens is the heart filters the blood clot into the lungs and they absorb it because they’re very big and they can take it,” he added.
As it turned out, the blood clot escaped through the hole in the heart and traveled to the brain, causing the stroke.
The model said she was “grateful they found him.”
He explained that his doctors performed a process where they use “a button” to close the valve in the heart.
