Emilio Navaira Update: Doctors Repair Singer's Lung

Doctors treating injured Tejano star Emilio Navaira repaired a pseudoaneurysm in his right lung Monday at Memorial Hermann Hospital in Houston. The 45 year-old singer was critically injured when the tour bus he was driving slammed into a series of partition barrels on a highway outside Houston early Easter morning. The Memorial Hermann Hospital website which features a special Emilio Navaira update page, reports:

A pseudoaneurysm is a contained rupture of an arterial wall. Some pseudoaneuryms resolve spontaneously, while others (like Navaira's) require repair to prevent hemorrhage. Interventional radiologist Dr. Alan M. Cohen successfully treated the pseudoaneurysm using an endovascular approach. Navaira is recovering well from yesterday's procedure; however, he remains in critical condition at Memorial Hermann -Texas Medical Center.
