Faustão Remains Hospitalized After Gastric Tube Removed

Hospital and spokesperson describe the stay as precautionary follow-up after a successful, planned procedure.

Overview

  • Faustão stayed in Hospital Israelita Albert Einstein on Wednesday for complementary check-ups and routine exams after doctors removed his gastric feeding tube, his assessoria said.
  • The team said the tube removal was a planned step in his recovery and was completed successfully with his condition described as under control.
  • A discharge that had been expected for Tuesday, May 26, was postponed and no new release date has been given by the presenter’s staff.
  • His extended monitoring reflects a complex history of transplants and infections, including a heart transplant in 2023, a kidney transplant in early 2024, and a liver procedure with renal retransplant in August 2025.
  • Doctors’ cautious follow-up matters because long-term immunosuppression and multiple surgeries raise infection and metabolic risks, so the extra tests aim to confirm stability before returning him home.
