Yesterday, Former President Gerald Ford underwent a successful angioplasty procedure at the Mayo Clinic. During the artery-clearing surgery, two stents were placed in two coronary arteries to increase blood flow. President Ford, 93, is said to be resting comfortably after the surgery.

This is the second surgery for Ford in a week. On Monday, he had a pacemaker implanted. He's been at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota since mid-August. Ford became the nation's oldest living former president after the death of Ronald Reagan in 2004.
