SAN ANTONIO, Texas – San Antonio Spurs center Fabricio Oberto has undergone a successful heart procedure to treat arrhythmia, the National Basketball Association club announced on Monday.

The 34-year-old Argentine playmaker underwent the Ablation procedure last Thursday in nearby Austin under physician Andrea Natale to correct his heart's electrical system.

Oberto, who averaged 2.6 points and 2.6 rebounds a game last season for the Spurs, might be able to resume strenuous exercise in a month. He will begin a gradual cardiovascular exercise program later this week.

Oberto averaged 6.0 points and 1.0 rebounds a game in two playoff appearances for the Spurs, who were ousted by Dallas in the opening round of the NBA playoffs back in April.
