Pawn Stars Rick Harrison Undergoes Emergency Bypass Surgery

Rick Harrison, the star of the reality television series "Pawn Stars," has undergone emergency bypass surgery after a planned medical procedure took an unexpected turn. The surgery occurred on Friday, September 4, 2026. Harrison, 61, was admitted to the hospital for what was expected to be a routine procedure, according to family representatives. During the process, doctors discovered a more serious issue that necessitated immediate bypass surgery. A spokesperson for the Harrison family stated that he is now resting comfortably and is surrounded by his wife, Angie, and other loved ones. The family expressed gratitude for the care provided by the hospital staff and for the support from family members during this time. While the exact diagnosis and the number of arteries requiring treatment were not disclosed, the family spokesperson indicated that Harrison is focused on recovery and anticipates a full return to health. Bypass surgery is a procedure designed to restore blood flow to the heart by creating a new route around a blocked or narrowed artery, often using a healthy blood vessel from another part of the body.
