Rick Harrison Undergoes Emergency Bypass After Routine Heart Procedure

Doctors found a more serious coronary problem during a planned stent procedure, requiring emergency bypass and leaving his recovery timeline unclear.

Overview

  • Harrison, 61, went to the hospital for what was expected to be a stent procedure and required emergency coronary bypass surgery, his family said.
  • A family spokesperson said he is resting comfortably, is grateful for the hospital staff, and has his wife, Agripina “Angie” Polushkin, and other family members at his side.
  • The surgery was reported Friday by TMZ and confirmed by multiple outlets quoting the Harrison family spokesman.
