FOX News: Former President Clinton Undergoes Heart Surgery After Chest Pains FOXNews.com Updated February 11, 2010 Bill Clinton underwent heart surgery at a New York City hospital Thursday to get two stents implanted after he felt "discomfort in his chest," a representative for the former president said. Clinton counselor Douglas Band said in a written statement that Clinton is in "good spirits" after the operation at the Columbia Campus of New York Presbyterian Hospital. Band said Clinton underwent the procedure to place the stents in one of his coronary arteries following a visit to his cardiologist. "President Clinton is in good spirits, and will continue to focus on the work of his Foundation and Haiti's relief and long-term recovery efforts," he said. Clinton went through quadruple bypass surgery in 2004 to free four blocked arteries. Clinton is leading fundraising efforts for the Haiti earthquake recovery effort alongside former President George W. Bush and recently traveled to the country. Dr. Steven Garner, with New York Methodist Hospital, told Fox News the "stress" of the president's recent trips to Haiti could have triggered a heart problem. "This is something that I believe was there just waiting to cause a problem," he said. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton left a meeting at the White House Thursday afternoon, but the White House said she did not leave in a hurried fashion and that the meeting was not interrupted by news of the former president's hospitalization. She is still scheduled to leave for a trip to the Middle East on Friday. A hospital spokeswoman declined to comment. Calls to Clinton's Harlem office were not immediately returned. foxnews.com
