Rick Harrison Undergoes Emergency Heart Bypass After Routine Procedure

Doctors performed an unplanned bypass after finding a serious coronary problem during what was expected to be a routine stent visit.

Overview

  • Harrison went to the hospital for a planned stent procedure and, on Friday, Sept. 4, doctors discovered a more serious coronary issue that led to emergency bypass surgery.
  • A family spokesperson said he is resting comfortably, is grateful for hospital staff, and expects a full recovery with his wife Agripina “Angie” Polushkin and other family members at his side.
  • No detailed medical timeline or discharge date has been released and outlets say it is unclear how long his hospital stay will be or what immediate effect the surgery will have on his public work.
