Veteran actor Rajinikanth, who was admitted to Apollo Hospitals earlier this week, is expected to be discharged on Friday. The 73-year-old actor underwent a non-surgical procedure to place a stent in his heart, treating a swelling in the aorta.
Although Rajinikanth was initially expected to return home on Thursday, the hospital management has confirmed that his discharge has been rescheduled for Friday.
The actor is reportedly stable after undergoing an endovascular repair procedure, a minimally invasive method performed by senior interventional cardiologist Dr. Sai Satish. This procedure, carried out on Tuesday morning, successfully treated an enlargement of a blood vessel near his abdomen.
Fans of Rajinikanth, fondly referred to as “Thalaivar,” have been sending their well-wishes for his speedy recovery, eagerly awaiting his return to good health. The Apollo Hospitals bulletin assured that the actor is responding well to treatment and will soon be back home.
