This isn’t his first heart surgery

Schwarzenegger had an emergency open heart surgery in March 2018 to replace a pulmonary valve, following a previous pulmonary valve replacement in 1997. The first time the actor underwent elective surgery the doctors at the University of Southern California (USC) hospital were the ones working his damaged aortic valve.
