Former President George W. Bush, 67, has had a stent placed in a heart artery to clear a blockage, his office said today. The procedure was performed this morning without complication at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas, his office added.
"President Bush is in high spirits, eager to return home tomorrow and resume his normal schedule on Thursday," the office said in a statement.
"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," the statement continued. "And he encourages us all to get our regular check-ups."
