Mr. Miloš Zeman remains under the care of the Motol General Hospital doctors after an operation for critical lack of blood supply to the lower limb. After the blood clot was removed and an angioplasty of the arteries was performed, blood flow was restored and the so-called reperfusion syndrome developed, which is manifested by swelling of the limb. This condition was solved with fasciotomies as part of the first operation. This involves cutting the muscle covers, leaving the incisions until the swelling subsides. These incisions must be treated carefully and regularly before they can be closed again. Mr. Miloš Zeman is conscious, oriented, and cooperating with the initiation of rehabilitation. Due to the above-mentioned current course, the length of hospitalization cannot be predicted.
