According to WWE.com, Hall of Famer Pat Patterson will be released from the hospital later today after undergoing emergency heart surgery August 6th to remove a large cyst on his heart.
Patterson’s close friend and WWE Superstar Sylvan told the following to WWE.com: : “I met [Patterson] for dinner and he was complaining about back problems,” “The next day, he spent the day with his sister in Montreal and the pain was worse and getting worse to the point where he couldn’t sit down straight and couldn’t walk straight; his sister convinced him to go to the hospital. They went to the hospital, and the doctors found a big cyst on the main artery [of his heart] the size of a baseball, rarely seen that big.”
The emergency surgery was a success and Patterson is expected to make a full recovery.
