Cheney to undergo aneurysm surgery


By Deb Riechmann

Associated Press

WASHINGTON - Vice President Dick Cheney will undergo elective surgery next weekend to treat an aneurysm, in an artery behind his right knee.

The condition, discovered earlier this year during a routine checkup, needs to be treated ``as to not become a problem over time,'' Steve Schmidt, counselor to the vice president, said Friday.

``The procedure will be performed under local anesthetic,'' Schmidt said. ``It will take place next weekend. It will involve a short hospital stay. The vice president will return to work shortly thereafter.''

Schmidt said more details will be announced next week.
