Roberto Carlos undergoes emergency heart surgery
Roberto Carlos, a famous Brazilian footballer, had to go to the hospital very quickly because his heart wasn't working right.
Doctors found this problem when they were checking his leg for a small blood clot.
They did a special test called an MRI on his whole body and saw that his heart needed help.
They put a tiny tube called a catheter into his heart to fix it.
The surgery was supposed to take 40 minutes, but it took much longer because there were some problems.
His family and friends say he is okay now and doing better.
He is staying in the hospital for a few more days so doctors can make sure he is okay.
Roberto Carlos was hospitalized for emergency heart surgery.
The issue was discovered during a medical test for a leg blood clot.
A full-body MRI revealed his heart was not functioning properly.
The surgery, initially expected to last 40 minutes, took nearly three hours due to complications.
Roberto Carlos is now stable and doing well, according to his representative.
