Great news!!!
Ed Koch, the former mayor of New York City, is reported to be in stable condition following his aortic valve replacement surgery [1] earlier today.
A spokesman says the 84-year-old mayor is doing “as well as expected” after a challenging open heart procedure at New York Presbyterian Hospital.
Ed Koch’s surgeon was Dr. Craig Smith [2], one of the leading heart surgeons on the East Coast. Doctor Craig Smith also performed a bypass procedure on former President Bill Clinton in 2004.
