2 Days After Surgery, Gentry Listed as ‘Fair’
ORANGE — Two days after undergoing emergency open-heart surgery, Laguna Beach City Councilman Robert F. Gentry was transferred out of the intensive care unit at UCI Medical Center on Thursday and his condition was upgraded to fair.
Doctors performed a quadruple heart bypass on Gentry on Tuesday after an angiogram revealed what Dr. Donald Mahon described as “significant blockage of his left main coronary artery.”
Gentry, who was sitting up and talking the day after surgery, is expected to be released from the hospital on Monday. His prognosis is described as excellent.
