Hailey Bieber had heart surgery after ‘scary’ blood clot caused mini stroke

Hailey Baldwin Bieber is opening up about her March 10 hospitalization for the first time.

The supermodel, 25, revealed she recently had a patent foramen ovale (PFO) closure procedure performed to mend a hole in her heart.

“It went very smoothly … I’m recovering really well, really fast,” she said in a new YouTube video, titled “telling my story.”

After being rushed to a Palm Springs area hospital last month with stroke-like symptoms, Bieber discovered she had a blood clot which travelled to her brain and caused a transient ischemic attack.

However, doctors couldn’t figure out how the blood clot ended up there.

“When I went to UCLA we did more in-depth testing … to find a PFO,” she explained in the video, describing a PFO as “a flap between the right and left chambers of the heart.”

“Typically at birth it’s supposed to close on its own,” she added, noting hers didn’t close.
