NEW YORK, NY (Catholic Online) - Doctor Allan Schwartz, the cardiologist treating former President Bill Clinton, gave the Press more information on the state of his health this morning, Friday Feb. 12, 2010.
He indicated that tests performed on the former President on Thursday when he entered the emergency room yesterday showed that one of the bypasses performed on him in 2004 had completely blocked.
Rather than trying to open the blocked bypass, the surgeons inserted two stents in one of the original arteries which had been blocked, precipitating the 2004 by pass surgery.
Stents are made of a mesh. They open up the artery and return the blood flow. They are performed with regularity on people with severe coronary artery disease.
The operation took an hour. The former president was able to get up in two hours.
Dr. Schwartz told the Press that the former President has an excellent prognosis for recovery and that "...the procedure went very smoothly."
On the C.B.S. Early Show" on Friday morning, Terry McAuliffe, the former Chair of the Democratic Party, Co Chair of Clinton's 1996 reelection campaign and personal friend of the former President, indicated that President Bill Clinton left the hospital this morning.
By now, the former President is at home in Chappaqua, 35 miles North of New York City.
McAuliffe also indicated that Clinton is going to continue in what many observers say has been the fast paced, almost frenetic schedule he has kept in the last few years.
McAulliffe said "He's been doing this for 63 years; you're not going to change him at this point."
To prove the point, he disclosed that former President Clinton had actually participated in a conference call concerning recovery efforts in the earthquake ravaged Nation of Haiti.
McAuliffe opined that "He would have kept the phone on Haiti and talked through the procedure if he could .... He's going to try and get as much in as he can."
