Former Argentine President Nestor Kirchner has left the hospital three days after emergency surgery on an artery that feeds blood to his brain, AP reported. News broadcasts showed Kirchner being driven away from the hospital Wednesday morning in Buenos Aires. He rolled down the car window to tell reporters he felt «very good, 100 percent.» Doctors operated Sunday after Kirchner had trouble moving his upper left arm, a symptom of problems in one of his carotid arteries. Kirchner was president from 2003 until he was succeeded by his wife, Cristina Fernandez, in 2007. He is currently a deputy in the lower house of congress and is expected to run for the presidency again in 2011. -- SPA
