New York Rep. Brandon Williams (R) has been hospitalized after undergoing heart surgery earlier this month.
“Doctors are pleased with the pace of the Congressman's recovery from his surgery,” Taylor Weyeneth, communications director for Williams, said in a statement. “However, a complication has arisen that requires immediate treatment and will prevent the Congressman from fulfilling his House duties for the remainder of the week.”
“He is resting with his family and is being treated by experts at George Washington University Hospital,” he added. “We fully expect Rep. Williams to continue on his path towards recovery.”
According to The Hill, Williams went under a “robotic cardiac artery bypass grafting procedure” on July 12. He said at the time that the procedure was “minimally invasive,” noting that it should have a quick recovery. (RELATED: Republican Congressman Announces Plan To Undergo ‘Minimally Invasive' Surgery)
“The minimally invasive techniques employed by the cardiac specialists at St. Joseph's will allow quicker healing, reduced discomfort, & minimal scarring,” he said at the time. “This remarkable team performs this procedure 150 times per year.”
