Samsung Electronics Co. chairman Lee Kun-hee was admitted to a hospital due to a respiratory problem after receiving cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), company officials said Sunday.

Lee, 72, received CPR at a hospital near his home in central Seoul Saturday night and was moved to Samsung Medical Center, according to the officials.

"I can confirm that he is now at Samsung Medical Center," said an official. "He is in a very stable condition and is resting."

Lee, the de facto chief of South Korea's top conglomerate Samsung Group, had received lung surgery in the late 1990s and has been suffering from respiratory complications since then.

Industry watchers believe Samsung Group is speeding up the power transfer to Lee's son Jae-yong due to the tycoon's health problems. (Yonhap)


이건희 회장 심장시술 받아…현재 회복중

급성 심근경색 증세로 심폐소생술…스텐트 삽입 시술 받아
삼성 '안정된 상태로 회복중'


이건희(72) 삼성그룹 회장이 호흡곤란과 심장마비 증세를 일으켜 병원에서 응급 심장시술을 받았다.

11일 의료계와 삼성그룹 등에 따르면 이 회장은 10일 밤 10시 56분 서울 한남동 자택 인근 순천향대학병원에 입원해 심폐소생술(CPR)을 받은 뒤 11일 0시 15분 서울 일원동 삼성서울병원으로 옮겨 심장시술을 받고 입원 중이다.

이 회장은 기도를 확보하기 위해 기관지 삽관을 한 상태에서 삼성서울병원으로 이송했다.

이 회장은 순천향대학병원에서 급성 심근경색이라는 진단을 받았으며 삼성서울병원으로 옮기자마자 심장 시술을 받았다. 시술 자체는 길지 않은 시간에 걸쳐 진행된 것으로 전해졌다.

이 회장이 받은 시술은 '스텐트(stent) 삽입 시술'로, 일반적으로 심근경색환자에게 좁아진 혈관을 넓혀주기 위해 행하는 혈관 확장술이다. 

삼성그룹은 '(이 회장이) 10일 밤 11시께 호흡곤란 증상을 보여 자택에서 가까운 순천향대학병원 응급실로 이동했고 응급실 도착 직후 심장마비 증상이 나타나 심폐소생술 등 응급조치를 시행했다'면서 '이어 11일 새벽 심장기능 상태가 호전돼 삼성서울병원으로 이송했고, 급성 심근경색으로 진단돼 관련 심장 시술 후 안정된 상태로 현재 회복 중'이라고 밝혔다. 

삼성 관계자는 '어젯밤 응급조치가 매우 잘 이뤄졌다. 현재는 수술을 받고 나서 회복되는 단계에 있다'고 말했다.

이 회장은 순천향대학병원에 입원할 당시에는 자가 호흡에 문제가 있어 기관지 삽관을 했으며, 현재는 안정을 되찾아 호흡에 큰 문제가 없는 상태인 것으로 알려졌다.

삼성그룹 관계자는 '현재 휴식 후 안정을 취하고 있다'면서 '현재는 상태가 매우 안정적'이라고 전했다.

그러나 이 회장이 밤새 심폐소생술과 심장수술을 받은 점 등에 비춰 정확한 건강상태는 좀 더 지켜봐야 할 것으로 보인다. 

삼성서울병원 측은 이날 오후 이 회장의 상태에 대해 설명할 예정인 것으로 전해졌다. 삼성서울병원 측은 별도의 브리핑을 하지는 않을 계획이다. 

이 회장은 작년 8월 감기가 폐렴 증상으로 발전하면서 열흘 정도 삼성서울병원에 입원했으며 건강악화설이 돌았으나 퇴원 후 대외활동을 재개한 바 있다.

앞서 2009년 3월에는 기관지염으로 삼성서울병원에 입원해 나흘간 치료받고 퇴원한 적이 있다.

이 회장은 1990년대 말 폐 림프암으로 수술을 받은 뒤 호흡기가 좋지 않은 것으로 알려져 있다. 

해마다 겨울철에는 기온이 따뜻한 지역으로 옮겨 요양을 해왔으며, 호흡기 질환 등에 걸리지 않도록 유의해왔다. 

이 회장은 올해 연초 신년행사를 마친 뒤 해외로 출국해 미국·일본 등에서 머물다 지난달 17일 귀국했다. 이 회장은 귀국 이후 닷새 만에 서울 서초동 삼성전자 사옥으로 출근하는 등 출근경영을 통해 그룹 사업재편과 미래전략실 인사 등을 직접 챙겨왔다. (Yonhap)
