DANGEFIELD ADMITTED TO UCLA FOR HEART VALVE REPLACEMENT SURGERY
LOS ANGELES----Comic legend Rodney Dangerfield was admitted to the UCLA Medical Center today for heart valve replacement surgery. The surgery will be performed by Dr. Hillel Laks. Dangerfield underwent successful brain bypass surgery in April of last year in preparation for this procedure and is expected to do well.
When asked how long he will be in the hospital after the operation, Dangerfield quipped, "If things go right, I'll be there about a week, and if things don't go right, I'll be there about an hour and a half!"
This was the surgery that he ultimately died from.
