Kiko Rivera undergoes urgent heart surgery today

New health setback in the life of Kiko Rivera. After two instances in which Isabel Pantoja's son had to be hospitalized in the last year, the music producer will have to undergo surgery on a third occasion. Adriana Dorronsoro has confirmed the news during the broadcast of El programa de Ana Rosa, confirming that Rivera would undergo heart surgery again. Specifically, he will undergo cardiac catheterization in the city of Seville.

Rivera himself has sent a message on social networks to inform and reassure his followers. “Today is an important day for my life, today we cleared up doubts with the catheterization. A part of my heart does not work properly, but do not be alarmed, I am still alive and wanting to live, ”the DJ explained on his social networks. This intervention comes after Rivera was again urgently admitted last week.

Cardiac catheterization is a procedure that involves passing a thin, flexible tube, also known as a catheter, into the right or left side of the heart. This operation is done to check different aspects of heart function, something apparently necessary after Rivera's last two problems. In fact, thanks to this technique, the cardiologist can take blood samples, examine the arteries or measure pressure, blood flow or oxygen.

“Life scares me again. I'll tell you. Your best gift that you enjoy the mambo and life ”, commented the artist in an Instagram post last Friday, during his second admission. The singer had returned to the stage with a performance in Chipiona the night before, Thursday. There, the attendees were able to see first-hand the surprising physical change that Rivera presented after the problem that occurred in the fall.

Rivera was admitted in the middle of last October at the Virgen del Rocío Hospital in Seville. Isabel Pantoja's son suffered a microstroke for which he required urgent medical assistance. "Today we are opening but I am very screwed," he wrote on his Instagram hours before setting off the alarms. His sentimental partner, Irene Rosales, explained at the time that he was "well and calm", in addition to having dined normally in the following days.

Since then, the singer has done his best to change various bad habits in his life and improve his health. In addition to weight loss and an improvement in her diet, Kiko decided to quit smoking, something she had tried several times before without success. "I have stopped smoking, I eat very healthy and I do sports every day. In addition, I am undergoing treatment with my physical therapist and I have started treatment with my psychologist," he commented during his debut as a streamer on Twitch.
