**Former US President Bill Clinton has left the hospital where he underwent a heart procedure.**He smiled as he walked out of New York Presbyterian Hospital, got into a waiting car, and waved for the cameras.
His cardiologist earlier said he was “in good spirits” after the procedure, in which doctors inserted two stents to clear a clogged artery in his heart.
Dr Allan Schwartz said he could be back at work as soon as Monday, adding that he did not suffer a heart attack.
Mr Clinton had quadruple bypass surgery at the same hospital more than five years ago. He was re-admitted on Thursday after complaining of discomfort in his chest.
Mr Clinton’s wife Hillary, the US Secretary of State, and their daughter Chelsea had joined him at his bedside.
The stents - wire-mesh tubes that help the flow of blood - were placed in a coronary artery that had become blocked since Mr Clinton had a quadruple-bypass operation in 2004.
