Zsa Zsa Gabor underwent surgery Friday to remove a blood clot that developed while she was recuperating from a broken hip, her publicist said.

An ambulance was summoned to Gabor's home to take her to the emergency room Friday afternoon, publicist John Blanchette said. She will be treated at the hospital for the next several days, he said.

Blanchette, who was in touch with Gabor's husband, Frederic von Anhalt, by telephone, said Gabor was in great pain and was bleeding from the hip.

The 93-year-old Gabor broke her hip in a fall at home on July 17. She underwent hip-replacement surgery at UCLA Ronald Reagan Medical Center and was discharged on Wednesday.

Gabor has had to use a wheelchair since a 2002 car accident and a 2005 stroke.
