Arkansas' Pryor has quad bypass surgery

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — David Pryor, a two-term Arkansas governor and three-term U.S. senator, had successful quadruple bypass surgery Wednesday after checking himself into a hospital with chest pains this week, doctors said.

Surgeons at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences and Pryor's son, current Sen. Mark Pryor, D-Ark., announced that the elder Pryor was resting in the hospital's intensive care unit after the six-hour procedure.

"We're happy to report that he did extremely well during surgery," said Dr. Tamim Antakli, who operated on Pryor, 72.
