U.S. Rep Ted Lieu (D-Los Angeles) underwent a medical procedure last week and is recovering. Lieu’s Chief of Staff Marc Cevasco said the congressman is doing well and is eager to return to work.

“Due to a medical procedure, Congressman Lieu will be missing work for the remainder of the week. He is in good spirits and plans to be back at work [as soon as possible],” Cevasco said in a statement. “On Monday evening, at the recommendation of the Office of Attending Physician, Congressman Lieu was admitted to George Washington University Hospital for chest pain. An electrocardiogram, ultrasound and two blood tests confirmed there was no heart attack and no heart damage. A CT scan showed partial blockage of an artery that was the likely cause of the symptoms. [On Dec. 10], he underwent stent surgery. It was successful. He is now recovering and will likely be discharged from the hospital [on Dec. 11]. Congressman Lieu is deeply grateful to all the dedicated professionals at the OAP and GW University Hospital. He does plan to watch a lot of TV as he recovers.”
