Elizabeth Taylor to repair heart with surgery
October 7th, 2009 - 12:27 pm ICT by ANILondon, October 7 (ANI): Elizabeth Taylor is set to undergo a pioneering surgery to repair a “leaky” valve.
The 77-year-old legendary actress, who suffered heart failure five years ago, asked fans for their prayers on her Twitter page.
“Dear Friends, I would like to let you know before it gets in the papers that I am going into the hospital to have a procedure on my heart,” the Daily Express quoted her as saying.
“It’s very new and involves repairing my leaky valve using a clip device, without open heart surgery, so that my heart will function better.
“Any prayers you happen to have lying around I would dearly appreciate. I’ll let you know when it’s all over. Love you, Elizabeth,” she added.
The star has previously undergone two hip replacement procedures and operation to remove a benign brain tumour. (ANI)
