NEW YORK – Former President Bill Clinton had two stents inserted in one of his heart arteries after being hospitalized with chest pains, an adviser said Thursday. The adviser, Douglas Band, said Clinton underwent the procedure at New York Presbyterian Hospital.

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," Band said.

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton left Washington and headed to New York to be with her husband.


God bless our former President Clinton. He is doing such awesome work with the Clinton Global Initiative and his partnership with American Heart. When will people wake up and understand that their is no definitive treatment of coronary disease.  All of our treatments have a finite durability wheather it's open heart bypass, or percutaneous intervention...if you live long enough it will fail. Done by the best heart surgeon-it seems to be clear that open revasc has better results than PCI even with the newest Drug eluting stent platforms. But I say it again, everything fails. It stands to reason that we all should stop periodically to take a careful survey and reflect if we're doing all possible to "stay off the table". I repeat-do all that is possible to keep the plumbing clean because its a slippery slope.

Sorry for the editorializing. But I guess that's what blogging is for
