First indications were that the four-hour open-heart operation to replace his aortic vale at the San Raffaele hospital in Milan had been successful.
“The operation was finished a little after midday and there were no complications in the operating theatre,” a hospital statement said, adding that Berlusconi had been transferred to an intensive care unit. “Everything is okay guys, now I can speak more calmly,” Gianni Letta, a close political ally of the billionaire leader of Forza Italia, told the AGI news agency.
The flamboyant media mogul and football club owner, who dominated Italian politics for two decades, is expected to spend several days in intensive care and several weeks in hospital in total.
