Dr. Eldron B. Hickman
By MYRNA OLIVER
Los Angeles Times

LONG BEACH,  Calif. - The patient was despised by many, revered by some and wanted on the witness stand. Was he malingering to avoid testifying?
The doctor ignored the swirling emotions and controversy of a nation roiled in Watergate and concentrated, as always, on treating the patient's illness - in this case potentially fatal phlebitis.

Dr. Eldon B. Hickman, the vascular surgeon from Long Beach,  Calif., who headed the team that operated on President Nixon's clotted vein shortly after he resigned in 1974, has died. He was 69.

Hickman died of cancer Saturday in Long Beach, a year after retiring as CareLine director for Long Beach Memorial Medical Center.

The surgeon was tapped to help his most famous patient by Nixon's personal physician, Dr. John C. Lungren, a colleague of Hickman's for many years.

After Watergate revelations forced Nixon to resign Aug. 8, 1974, he returned to his home in San Clemente,  Calif., where he suffered highly publicized flare-ups of phlebitis.

On Oct. 28 of that year, complications sent Nixon to Long Beach Memorial for tests that revealed a large blood clot in the iliac vein of his left thigh - a clot within dangerous striking distance of the lungs. If the clot raced there, it could result in pulmonary embolism and almost instant death.

Hickman joined Lungren and surgery professor Dr. Wiley Barker of the University of California, Los Angeles, to analyze the tests and then told Nixon he needed surgery quickly.

At 5:30 a.m. the next day, Hickman headed the five-man team, including Lungren and Barker, that performed the hourlong surgery.

Hickman, the vascular expert, placed a hairpin-like plastic Miles Clamp (named for its developer, Dr. Robert Miles) on the left iliac vein in Nixon's groin just above the potentially fatal clot. The serrated, inch-long device, which would remain inside Nixon for the rest of his life, squeezed the walls of the vein together and made five separate tiny passageways instead of the normal single large one. The small openings permitted blood to flow through but would catch the existing clot or any future ones, like leaves caught in a screen.

Later that day, Hickman helped bring Nixon through post-surgical vascular shock, also regarded as potentially fatal and probably brought on by chemical blood-thinners he had been taking. After Nixon left the hospital, Hickman supervised his recuperation in San Clemente.

At the time of the surgery, Nixon was due to testify before Judge John Sirica at the Watergate hearings in  Washington, D.C. When lawyers delayed his appearance because of the illness, Sirica dispatched three surgeons to assess whether he needed the six weeks recuperation prior to travel that Hickman and his team recommended. The court-appointed doctors not only agreed with Hickman but extended the travel ban another two weeks. Nixon never testified in court because in the interim he was pardoned by President Ford.

Thanks largely to Hickman's efforts, Nixon, who had a premonition that if he entered the hospital for treatment of his phlebitis he would never come out, lived another 20 years. He died in 1994 at age 81.
