Hoiberg had twice put off a procedure to replace his aortic valve.
AMES, Iowa -- The Mayo Clinic says Iowa State coach Fred Hoiberg is expected to be released on Thursday, less than a week after open-heart surgery.
Hoiberg had surgery at the clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, on Friday to replace his aortic valve, a procedure he put off twice during the season.
Hoiberg is expected to need 4-6 weeks of recovery before returning to work.
Hoiberg retired from the NBA following the 2004-05 season following heart issues.
