Reporting from Los Angeles and New York - Former President Clinton, who underwent major surgery to clear blocked arteries six years ago, suffered chest discomfort Thursday and was taken to a New York hospital, where doctors gave him an excellent prognosis after inserting stents in one of his coronary arteries.

Clinton's cardiologist, Dr. Allan Schwartz, who oversaw the roughly hourlong procedure, said Clinton, 63, had been up and about and was expected to go home Friday. He could be back at work within days.

Schwartz emphasized that the procedure was not caused by dietary or lifestyle problems but was the result of a side effect seen in many patients who have undergone bypass surgeries.

He said that Clinton did not have a heart attack and that his heart did not suffer any damage.

"Just as illnesses have natural histories, treatments have natural histories," said Schwartz, adding that there is "about a 10 to 20% failure rate at five to six years" after the type of operation Clinton underwent in 2004.

Schwartz also said Clinton's symptoms should not be described as chest pains. Rather, he had experienced feelings of pressure and constriction in recent days. They were "brief in nature, but because they were repetitive, he contacted me," Schwartz said during a news briefing outside New York-Presbyterian Hospital.

The doctor said Clinton was "in good spirits" after the procedure, which went "very smoothly."

According to a White House official, President Obama "spoke to Clinton shortly before 7 p.m. and wished him a speedy recovery. . . . Clinton said he was feeling 'absolutely great.' "

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, who learned of her husband's hospitalization while in Washington, arrived at the hospital about 7:30 p.m. The couple's daughter, Chelsea, was also there, Schwartz said.
