Elizabeth Taylor: Informs about successful heart surgery
On Thursday veteran actress Elizabeth Taylor said that her heart surgery went off "perfectly," by saying that "it's like having a brand new ticker."
Seventy seven year old Taylor made the announcement on her Twitter page, which has replaced her publicist as her primary form of communication. She also revealed that she would be entering an undisclosed hospital for the procedure.
The surgery involved implanting a clip to prevent blood leaking back into her heart through the mitral valve.
She tweeted, “Dear Friends, My heart procedure went off perfectly," "It's like having a brand new ticker. Thank you for your prayers and good wishes. I know they all helped. Love you, Elizabeth."
Elizabeth Taylor was diagnosed with congestive heart failure five years ago and also has endured severe back problems and a benign brain tumor operation. She often uses a wheelchair during her rare public appearances.
