Rick Harrison recovering after unexpected emergency heart bypass surgery

Pawn Stars star Rick Harrison is convalescing following an emergency bypass operation that was discovered during a routine procedure.

Rick Harrison, known for his role on the History Channel series Pawn Stars, underwent an emergency bypass after doctors found the need for it during an initially planned minor procedure. He is currently recovering and reports say he is “resting comfortably” with his wife Agripina “Angie” Polushkin and his children at his side. The family released a statement mourning the loss of his son Adam, who passed away from a fentanyl overdose.

In separate remarks, Harrison responded to his son Corey’s GoFundMe fundraiser, noting that he had already covered Corey’s medical bills. Corey’s campaign was created to help with over $100,000 in expenses after a serious motorcycle crash in Tulum, Mexico. The incident highlights both Harrison’s health challenges and ongoing family matters.
