[01] GLAFCOS CLERIDES - HEALTH
Former President of the Republic Glafcos Clerides has undergone
angioplasty on Wednesday at the American Heart Institute in Nicosia to
open two narrowed coronary arteries. ``The constriction of two vessels
was found and angioplasty was carried out, commonly known as balloon,
and three stents were put in place. The condition of Mr. Clerides`
health is satisfactory,`` a statement released by the doctors read.
Cardiologist Pambis Nicolaides said ``we are all very happy with the
result of the angiogram and the angioplasty.`` ``We are happy because
President Clerides overcame the difficult period last week in Larnaca,
his condition stabilised, an angiogram was carried out at the right
moment with so many good results,`` he said.
Interventional cardiologist Christos Christou, who carried out the
angioplasty, said ``we diagnosed two arteries, one of which I believe
existed since 2005 and another finding now in the right artery.``
``Both arteries were repaired at that moment. We deemed that both are
important for the functioning of the President`s heart and at the end
of the day everything is well. He needs observation. Now he is at the
stage of recuperation. We hope everything will go well,`` he added.
Kasios said ``we have not decided`` when Clerides would be discharged.
``Be patient and I hope he continues to convalesce and everything goes
well and with God`s help we will decide the time,`` he added.
