"Everything went according to plan, without complications," CNN Brasil quoted him as saying. The doctor added that Bolsonaro will undergo rehabilitation, including physical therapy and thrombosis prophylaxis.
Meanwhile, the former president continues to suffer from bouts of hiccups. Doctors are discussing the need for another procedure in the coming days to alleviate the symptoms.
