New York Rep. Brandon Williams (R) has been hospitalized after undergoing heart surgery earlier this month.
โDoctors are pleased with the pace of the Congressman's recovery from his surgery,โ Taylor Weyeneth, communications director for Williams, said in aย statement. โHowever, a complication has arisen that requires immediate treatment and will prevent the Congressman from fulfilling his House duties for the remainder of the week.โ
โHe is resting with his family and is being treated by experts at George Washington University Hospital,โ he added. โWe fully expect Rep. Williams to continue on his path towards recovery.โ
According to The Hill, Williams went under a โrobotic cardiac artery bypass grafting procedureโ on July 12. He said at the time that the procedure was โminimally invasive,โ noting that it should have a quick recovery. (RELATED: Republican Congressman Announces Plan To Undergo โMinimally Invasive' Surgery)
