Ron Jeremy is hanging in there.

The adult-film icon underwent emergency surgery today after doctors discovered an aneurysm near his heart and, according to his medical team, all went "smoothly."

He is "now resting with complete privacy and no visitors," his doctors said in a statement released to E! News via Jeremy's manager, Mike Esterman. "Everyone on Ron's team has expressed well wishes and a speedy recovery!"

The 59-year-old actor was admitted into Cedars-Sinai Medical Center's intensive-care unit yesterday afternoon after experiencing chest pains.

The Guinness world record holder for most appearances in adult films, Jeremy scored the No. 1 ranking on Adult Video News' list of the top 50 porn stars of all time.
