Nick Cordero, a Broadway theater actor, is recovering after his leg was amputated following complications from COVID-19, it was announced.
Wife Amanda Kloots, who has kept fans aware of his health situation on social media, confirmed the medical procedure.
“He made it through the surgery, which is really big,” Kloots said. “They’re taking him back to the room to recover and rest for the rest of the night, so hopefully he'll just kind of relax and rest.”
She had told social media followers that blood thinners prescribed by doctors to help with blood clots in his right leg caused problems with his blood pressure.
“We took him off blood thinners but that again was going to cause some clotting in the right leg, so the right leg will be amputated,” she said.
About a week ago, Kloots said Cordero was in “very critical condition” after contracting the CCP virus, which causes COVID-19.
