Sen. John McCain, the longtime Republican senator from Arizona, is recovering at home Monday after surgery to remove a blood clot above his left eye.
A statement from his office says the clot was found during a routine physical last week.
“Surgeons successfully removed the 5-cm blood clot during a minimally invasive craniotomy with an eyebrow incision. Tissue pathology reports are pending within the next several days,” the statement reads. “The Senator is resting comfortably at home and is in good condition. His Mayo Clinic doctors report that the surgery went ’very well' and he is in good spirits. Once the pathology information is available, further care will be discussed between doctors and the family. In the meantime, his Mayo Clinic care team will not be conducting interviews.”
McCain, meanwhile, is “in good spirits and recovering comfortably at home with his family,” and based “on the advice of his doctors, Senator McCain will be recovering in Arizona next week,” according to the statement.
