LONDON: Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's open-heart surgery has been performed successfully in London, and he has been shifted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), confirmed the premier's daughter on Tuesday.
Maryam had added after the surgery concluded that the prime minister will be shifted to the ICU with in the next hour. In a separate tweet she also thanked the people for their prayers and well wishes.
The surgery was started earlier in the day at 8am UK time and lasted more then four hours.
"PM's surgery started at 8am UK time. Spoke to him earlier, he was in high spirits," Maryam tweeted earlier.
"All arteries successfully grafted," Maryam said, adding that surgery may take another 60 to 90 minutes to conclude.
Earlier, Maryam had said the surgery was progressing fine.
Information Minister Pervaiz Rasheed said prayers across the world were held for the premier's well being and health.
"Everyone has prayed for him, Muslims prayed in mosques, Hindus in temples and Christians in churches."
Zubair Gul, president of PML-N's United Kingdom chapter had said the surgery, which began at 12pm Pakistan time, is expected to last anywhere from six to eight hours.
However, there is a great deal of secrecy surrounding the PM's surgery and it is not known which hospital he has been admitted to. The premier could not be found at the Royal Brompton Hospital in Chelsea where he previously received treatment, and is presumed to have left his home without detection.
Members of the premier's security detail have allegedly been posted at various hospitals to throw reporters off the trail.
The prime minister is expected to be in the hospital for a week following his surgery. During his stay at the hospital, the premier will be overseeing the affairs of his government from London, the media wing of PM House said earlier.
On Monday, the PM addressed an economic meeting and signing off on budget proposals for the upcoming fiscal year.
Prayers and goat sacrifices ahead of PM's surgery
PML-N supporters have offered prayers and sacrificed animals ahead of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's surgery.
The party's social media pages are filled with well wishes from people across the globe, and picture of supporters indulging in goat sacrifices.
PML-N's official pages also had supporters sending their best wishes for the PM.
The premier also thanked the nation for their prayers a day before his surgery was scheduled.
The need for the surgery arose after the premier went through a cardiac procedure called Atrial Fibrillation Ablation in 2011, "during which certain complications occurred resulting in perforation of heart", Maryam Nawaz earlier told the media.
"After some recent symptoms, a team of cardiologists and cardiac surgeons carried out some scans and tests, following which they decided to go for an open-heart surgery," she said.
World leaders, also conveyed their wishes for the PM's quick recovery in days leading up to his surgery.
Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif telephoned his Indian counterpart Narendra Modi on Monday to express his gratitude for the good wishes for his recovery before being wheeled in for his heart surgery, Radio Pakistan reported.

Open heart must finish under 4 hours otherwise physiological complications start after this time period as chest remains open and blood is on bypass circuit , this is technical fact of bypass for it to be sucessful or beyond 4 hours risk increases exponentialy after each hour beyound this period . It takes two days to extubation post surgery and 4 days to remove chest drains and total 2 months to get over pain of sternum being opened as it will be wired back on closure and 6 months physiotherapy to get into normal physical condition . This looks like LAD block otherwise Stents via percutaneous way would do the job electively or they have failed ,so now a bypass. It's a safe procedure and very effective in long term . When time comes for rebypass after 14 years ask me whats the only precaution that needs to be taken during procedure as then one single problem needs to be solved before re bypass is done and this problem starts after this first bypass .best of luck.

Lack of transparency makes me completely believe, this surgery is all drama. He would have gotten more sympathy if he had been more open about his surgery than hiding all the details.

A 3rd world prime minister undergoing such a critical treatment, a politically-charged process in any case, in a strategically important western country, and coming out of it successfully is no less than a miracle. History is teeming with examples of cases where ailing high profile world statesmen never came back healthy from such countries. Algerian President Boumédiène in 1978 in Moscow, King Hussein of Jordan in 1999 in US, Palestine Chairman Yasser Arafat in 2004 in Paris, et al., are just a few examples. All these controversial leaders did not make it back to their countries under happy circumstances, and conspiracy theorists had field day with them. The nation must thank God for successful recovery of our prime minister.

It is sad that these corrupt retards, go to their masters…..Not able to trust the healthcare system?…..We have great Pakistani physicians in all the major specialities, serving the needy inside and outside the country.
We see a trend in similar folks in power in different countries, talking big about themselves but when they need healthcare resolution they all run to similar places….Using this as smoke screen, escape justice in this world…...

A few days back he was able to address multiple times to very big crowds and now he has undergone pre-planed cardiac surgery. He had no signs of heart disease. Patients having three vessels disease cannot be so energetic despite optimum medications. Taking into account that he underwent ablation therapy for lone atrial fibrillation in 2011, one can understand that he had normal coronary arteries four years back as coronary angiography must have been done en rout at that time as per age requirement while multiple catheters were there inside his heart. He is not a smoker and also as we know, he is very fond of mangoes; one can assume that he is not diabetic. So how come he contracted ischemic heart disease of that severity that he needed to get grafted multiple vessels. Of course there is something fishy going on.
