Actor Patrick Stewart Has Heart Procedure ("pre-emptive angioplasty")

[Khephra]

LOS ANGELES -- "X-Men" star Patrick Stewart is recovering at home after undergoing an angioplasty procedure earlier this week to widen an artery, his publicist said Friday.

Angioplasty involves the use of catheters to place a small balloon in a narrowed blood channel. When the balloon is inflated, the artery flows more freely.

The 64-year-old Stewart -- who played Professor Xavier in "X-Men" and its sequel, and Captain Jean-Luc Picard on "Star Trek: The Next Generation" -- went in for an annual physical on Monday, according to his publicist, Kelly Bush.

1. Nah, Mr. Stewart

is a liberal fellow. Met him back in 1990 (there a picture in Starlog of us together in fact, one of my brushes with the famous).

He is quite a gentleman and I wish him a swift recovery.
