Former US President Bill Clinton is recovering after successful heart bypass surgery at New York-Presbyterian Hospital.
A hospital source said Mr Clinton was fine and that he "came through it okay."
Mr Clinton, who served eight years in the White House from 1993 until 2001 and was known for his love of fast food, was admitted to hospital on Friday after complaining of chest pains and shortness of breath.
The former president and his family issued a statement yesterday saying they felt "blessed and grateful for the thousands of prayers and messages of goodwill we have received these past few days.
"While bypass surgery certainly isn't something to look forward to, we are very lucky that the condition was detected in time to have this procedure before something more serious occurred," the statement said.
A Clinton spokesman said more than 26,000 messages have been posted on the website.
