The procedure will be performed after a series of tests confirmed that he is in adequate clinical condition, according to doctors Brasil Caiado and Claudio Birolini, who are in charge of the operation.

Bolsonaro arrived at the hospital after leaving the Federal Police (PF) headquarters, where he has been held since November 22 to serve a sentence of more than 27 years for attempted coup.

According to the medical team, the former president underwent a complete cardiological evaluation, blood tests, and a coronary CT scan.

The results indicated small fatty plaques, without significant deterioration, and laboratory tests were within expected limits.

Cardiologist Caiado stated that Bolsonaro is clinically stable and fit for surgery. “He is well prepared, with all the necessary tests completed and no cardiac impediments,” he affirmed.

After the procedure, the former Army captain will be transferred to the post-anesthesia care unit, where he will remain under observation for approximately two hours before returning to his room.
