BOSTON —
Boston Celtic President Red Auerbach underwent open-heart surgery Friday at Massachusetts General Hospital, medical center spokesman Martin Bander said.
Auerbach, 75, was listed in satisfactory condition in the cardiac surgical recovery room.
Five arteries were bypassed during the six-hour operation, Bander said.
Auerbach, the winningest coach in NBA history, had been at the hospital last month for procedures to clear two blocked arteries. He returned to the hospital Wednesday complaining of chest pain, Bander said.
