Minor Heart Surgery For Former President; Home Tomorrow

Former President George W. Bush underwent a minor heart procedure on Tuesday morning.

This occurred  after doctors discovered a blockage in the artery of his heart during a routine physical
at the Cooper Clinic in Dallas on Monday.

At the recommendation of his doctors, Bush agreed to have a stent placed to open the blockage. 

This procedure was performed early yesterday morning at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital without complication.

The Office of the former President released the following update:

“President Bush is in high spirits, eager to return home tomorrow and resume his normal schedule on Thursday. He is grateful to the skilled medical professionals who have cared for him. He thanks his family, friends, and fellow citizens for their prayers and well wishes. And he encourages us all to get our regular check-ups.”
