2 Oct - A bulletin was recently released by Chenai's private medical institution Apollo Hospitals regarding Rajinikanth's recent procedure. Following the Tamil superstar's admission on 30 September, on 1 October, the hospital revealed that the actor had a swelling in a major blood vessel connecting to his heart, which was corrected with a non-surgical transcatheter procedure.
"Senior Interventional Cardiologist Dr. Sai Satish placed a stent in the aorta completely sealing off the swelling (Endovascular Repair). We would like to let his well-wishers and fans know that the procedure went as planned. Mr. Rajinikanth is stable and is doing well. He should be home in two days," the bulletin read.
The 73-year-old star was taken to the hospital after he complained about stomach pains, as previously reported. When asked about it, wife Latha Rajinikanth told the media that all is well with him. The hospitalisation came just as his new movie, "Vettaiyan" is gearing up for release on 10 October.
