Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller
Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller underwent a cardiac catheterization procedure today at Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital in Fort Worth. Miller had experienced a shortness of breath and chest discomfort that occurred last Friday evening and was admitted to Harris Hospital on Saturday.
Cardiologists successfully inserted a stent into his left anterior descending (LAD) artery to eliminate a blockage.
Following surgery, Miller recorded his ‘Daily Market Roundup’ (which plays on Texas radio stations five days a week) from his hospital room.
“I can now add heart surgery to my list of medical mishaps and challenges which include numerous rodeo injuries, broken bones, hip, double knee replacement, shoulder surgery, West Nile virus, Covid and cancer. I guess that list just makes me Texas tough,” Miller said.
Miller is expected to be released later this week and will recuperate at home. He expects to be back to his normal schedule and routine following a brief recovery.
