Sununu Recovering from Quadruple Bypass Surgery

Former Gov. John H. Sununu is recovering in a Boston hospital after a coronary procedure found significant blockage requiring quadruple bypass surgery, according to spokesman Ryan Williams.

Sununu was admitted to St. Elizabeth’s Medical Center in Boston, MA, for the coronary angioplasty procedure last week. During the examination, several arteries were found blocked and required immediate surgery. On Friday, the governor underwent “a successful” quadruple bypass surgery and is “recovering very well from the procedure.”

In a statement, Sununu said, “I feel very lucky. The staff here at St. Elizabeth’s have been wonderful to work with.”

Sununu was the state’s 75th governor between 1983 and 1989. He became President George H.W. Bush’s chief of staff in 1989 and served until 1992. Sununu recently authored the book, “The Quiet Man,” about Bush’s presidency. He lives in Hampton Falls with his wife, Nancy.
