Ivan Telegin, striker of Avangard Omsk, ex-husband of singer Pelageya, said that he had a heart surgery and that he was conscious for four hours during the surgery.
According to the testimony of the 32-year-old athlete, he suffered an injury, which missed him eight months, after which he was sent for an in-depth medical examination. The examination showed that he needed heart surgery.
“I went to the Bakulev Institute (National Medical Research Center of Cardiovascular Surgery named after AN Bakulev. – socialbites.ca). And I had to cauterize the electrical systems there (extrasystole is an extraordinary contraction of the heart, premature compared to its normal rhythm. – socialbites.ca).
I lie down and they insert wires through my groin and collarbone. They put me on a cold table, naked, and now I lie there conscious for four hours, waiting for them to hit me. Whatever I think! “Porridge in my head,” Telegin said in a YouTube program “Full Contract”.
Telegin is an Olympic champion at the 2018 Pyeongchang Games as part of the Russian national team.
The forward, who played in 26 games for Avangard Omsk in this season of the Continental Hockey League (KHL), scored one goal and made six assists.
