from the description of the procedure:
"THE TEAM: There will be a large team for the operation, led by a head heart surgeon, who will perform the bypass, assisted by a second heart surgeon. An anesthesiologist will tend to Clinton while he is asleep, while a physician assistant harvests veins from the president's leg that will be used to create some of the bypass of the blockages around his heart."
"We are delighted to report that President Clinton's surgery was successful and we expect for him to make a full recovery," said Eric A. Rose, MD, Morris and Rose Milstein, Johnson & Johnson Professor of Surgery and Chairman, Department of Surgery, Columbia University College of Physicians & Surgeons, Associate Dean for Translational Research, Columbia University Medical Center, and Surgeon-in-Chief, NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia.
"I want to congratulate our superb cardiothoracic surgical team of physicians, physician assistants, and nurses led by Dr. Craig Smith, Chief of the Division of Cardiothoracic Surgery," Rose continued. "I know that our entire department, along with Columbia University College of Physicians & Surgeons and NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, is proud of their work and of the successful result in President Clinton's coronary artery bypass graft surgery."
