Jagger has undergone a transcatheter aortic valve replacement, sources told Billboard. Doctors have also inserted a stent to support the opening of at least one of the singer's arteries, reported the New York Post. The minimally invasive procedure allowed Jagger to avoid major surgery.
Its recovery time should be four or five days so that the artery can heal without bleeding problems, according to Billboard. The father of eight children would then need to rest more before returning to the scene.
