Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA) underwent heart surgery following reports of chest pains, his chief of staff confirmed on Wednesday.
The California lawmaker and member of the House Judiciary Committee went to George Washington University Hospital on Monday after experiencing chest pain and was admitted thereafter.
While there were no signs that he experienced a heart attack, he underwent heart surgery on Tuesday after doctors discovered a partial blockage in one of his arteries. The stent surgery was successful. His chief of staff, Marc Cevasco, said Lieu should be returning to work next week.
“An electrocardiogram, ultrasound and two blood tests confirmed there was no heart attack and no heart damage. A CT scan showed partial blockage of an artery that was likely the cause of the symptoms,” Cevasco said in a statement.
“He is in good spirits and plans to be back at work next week,” he continued.

He should step down to spend more time with his lawyers.
Impeachment, stop it your killing me.
My guess a lot of (D) are feeling about the same.
They make it sound like it was no big deal, but a ‘partial blockage’ can become a major blockage very quickly................
Sorry to hear...that he survived.
Awww, that’s too bad. No, really.
For a hundred years!..........................
I hope he recovers quickly.
Of course.
His lies are catching up to him.
Did he enjoy the flight to Cuba before the Surgery?
I know God is frowning at me but I just don’t care about the guy.
On behalf of his family and loved ones, hope for a full, speedy reocvery.
On behalf of America, die now please.
@ Bonemaker....before a bunch of people saying thats “heartless”, you are correct. Last time Nadler had a medical emergency earlier this year, everyone was wishing him a quick recovery. Now look at what he’s doing.
We don’t wish unwell on anyone, but when one is sick -— time to retire or take it easy -— at home!
....no comment.....
He hasn’t paid enough for what he tried to do to Candace Owens.
Following Thumper rules from Bambi....
Interesting he did not fly to that Socialist paradise Cuba to get treatment since he has gushed about the health care there....
