DALLAS (Reuters) - Former President George W. Bush, 67, a fitness enthusiast whose presidency was shaped by the attacks on September 11, 2001, underwent successful surgery at a Dallas hospital on Tuesday to place a stent in a blocked heart artery.

Doctors discovered the blockage on Monday during Bush's annual physical at the Cooper Clinic in Dallas, according to a statement from spokesman Freddy Ford.
