WASHINGTON -- Vice President Dick Cheney had successful surgery on Saturday to repair aneurysms on the back of both knees. He was alert and comfortable after the six-hour operation, his spokesman said. Cheney, who has a history of heart problems, was under local anesthesia during the surgery at George Washington University Hospital. After the operation, Cheney was "awake, alert, comfortable," Schmidt said. Cheney had been scheduled to have only the right knee operated on Saturday but his doctors decided to do both at once, Schmidt said. There were no complications.
