Kansas coach Bill Self on Sunday offered his first public comments since being hospitalized with an undisclosed illness just before the start of the Big 12 tournament.
The University of Kansas Health System issued a statement announcing Self, 60, had been discharged in “good condition” after arriving to the emergency department on the night of March 8 “complaining of chest tightness and balance concerns.” The hospital also announced Self underwent a chest procedure to address the issue, and is expected to make a full recovery.
“Clinical Service Chief for Cardiovascular Medicine and Interventional cardiologist Dr. Mark Wiley said Coach Self underwent a standard heart catheterization and had two stents placed for the treatment of blocked arteries. Coach Self responded well to the procedure and is expected to make a full recovery,” the statement read, per Brett McMurphy of Action Network.
