Max George has revealed he’s had a pacemaker fitted during terrifying 2.5 hour emergency heart surgery
The Wanted star, 36, who has been in hospital for a week suffering from a 2:1 atrioventricular block and is awaiting a pacemaker, shared a picture of his new scar, which is next to a ‘special tattoo’.
An atrioventricular block is a disorder that occurs when electrical impulses are delayed or blocked from reaching the ventricles.
Max previously revealed he was set to undergo surgery sooner than expected because his heart rate has ‘failed to pick up’
Now, Max has shared an update following his surgery: ‘Say hello to my little friend! Given the last 10 days, this is the best Christmas present I could’ve ever wished for.
‘Pacemaker is in. Operation took around 2 and half hours. The main issue being some of my veins had collapsed where the wires were meant to go… But the surgeons and nurses at the NHS have been incredible. I owe everything to them.
