OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt said Wednesday that he’s returned to work since undergoing heart surgery to clear a significant blockage to an artery.

Stitt, a Republican in his second term, said in a statement that he had surgery last week to get a stent placed in a blocked artery.

“Happy to share I’m back at work and doing great ... a huge thank you to the doctors, nurses and staff at Oklahoma Heart Hospital South for their care and expertise,” Stitt said.

“I hope you’ll take this as a reminder to schedule that check up and prioritize your heart health,” Stitt, 51, said in his statement.

Stitt had gone to his doctor for a routine checkup, his spokeswoman Abegail Cave said in a statement.

“Doctors discovered that Gov. Stitt had significant blockage in a main artery. He underwent intravenous surgery on Friday where the doctors repaired the blockage with a stent,” Cave said.
