University of Michigan men’s basketball coach John Beilein underwent a successful double bypass heart procedure, the school announced Tuesday morning.
The procedure, which was scheduled, was conducted by Michigan Medicine’s Francis D. Pagani, M.D., Ph.D. at Michigan’s Samuel and Jean Frankel Cardiovascular Center.
In a joint statement, Beilein expressed gratitude towards the university, including the doctors who performed the operation.
“I am going to work very hard in my rehabilitation to be stronger than ever by the time practice begins for this upcoming season,” he said.
Following the procedure, Beilein, 65, will not travel with the Wolverines on their trip to Spain, which takes place Aug.
