                Supreme Court Justice Undergoes Heart Procedure

   by VOA News

   Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, 81, had a heart procedure on
   Wednesday after experiencing discomfort during routine exercise,
   according to a [1]court statement.

   Ginsburg was reported to be resting comfortably at Medstar Washington
   Hospital Center after having a stent placed in her right coronary
   artery.

   She was taken to the hospital Tuesday night and the stent was implanted
   to clear some coronary blockage. She is expected to be released within
   the next two days, the statement said.

   Ginsburg, who was appointed by former president Bill Clinton in
   1993, is the oldest member of the court and has survived cancer
   diagnoses in 1999 and 2009.

   Some information in this report was provided by AP and Reuters news
   agency.
