Lula da Silva underwent surgery again
The technique is not considered surgery, but rather an “endovascular procedure (embolization of the middle meningeal artery)” and will not influence the expected discharge from the ICU, which should be this Thursday. The intervention is part of the post-surgical protocol.
The new procedure performed today aims to slow blood flow in a region of his brain and prevent him from having the same problem he suffered this week again.
According to the same document from the medical team, the president is in intensive care and “He spent the day (this Wednesday) well, without complications, he did physical therapy, walked and received visits from family.” Lula is expected to continue under medical surveillance for several daysuntil resuming their functions next week.
