Soviet Nobel laureate Andrei D. Sakharov will not require heart surgery or a pacemaker, his doctor said today.

In a statement released by Massachusetts General Hospital, Adolph M. Hutter Jr. said he met with Sakharov, 67, and gave him the news. He said Sakharov will return to the hospital next week for final evaluations. Sakharov returned today to Boston after a week in Washington and New York. He was to attend a private reception this evening at the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in Cambridge.
