University President Bob Bruininks, 66, is recovering from a blood clot in his leg and a pulmonary embolism he endured while hiking in Washington state, according to a University news release.
"A pulmonary embolism is a sudden blockage in a lung artery," Dr. David Ingbar, director of the Pulmonary, Allergy and Critical Care and Sleep division of the University said in a statement. "This uncommon complication can be caused by a long plane flight."
Bruininks will stay in Washington for treatment, according to the release, where a full recovery is expected.
He plans to return to the University in the next seven to 10 days.
